Yes, he does indeed know exactly what he's doing, but he still doesn't know doodley-squat about economics.
He "knows", if you can call Bill Ayers' arm up his backside "knowing", what he is told by the TOTUS to say.
Now, his grasp of the teachings of his Commie-Muzzie mentors is SUPERB. As you say, he knows where he's going with that destruction.
Thank you.
But people should stop calling him inept, stupid, incompetent, etc.
