Though he had never actually been a politician, before, he had rubbed shoulders ( and more ) with a whole host of them and should have known far MORE, than he did. Also, he should NEVER have pulled the stupid NEPOTISM crap!
And should he really make the person rumored to be the Ambassador to Luxembourg ( not that that post is important ), a fact, then it's just a damned, stinking "payoff" and dumb! How do I know this? BECAUSE I KNOW THE PERSON ! So, HELL YES, I AM a "wise one"!
“So yes, Trump WAS extremely stupid and politically naive and unprepared. “
I see it a little differently...He made hiring overtures to the rinos in the Repuki party because he could NOT MAGA without a party. He got repaid with treachery.
