Has anyone ever seen a credible description of DJT’s modus operandi which prominently includes such adjectives as ‘cunning’, ‘deliberative’, ‘strategic’ or ‘in-depth’?
I was reading Mark Cuban’s comments regarding the Trump/Russian imbroglio and, I must say, that I found his arguments that Trump does not possess the requisite intellectual bandwidth to be able to organize and implement a sophisticated cooperative operation with Russia to be quite persuasive.
Look, “let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that [Donald J Trump] know[s] what he's doing.” He is a feral, self-absorbed simpleton who only obtained his wealth as a result of winning what Warren Buffet describes as the ‘Ovarian Lottery’. Being dimwitted, he engaged in reckless business practices which resulted in repeated and momentous business failures during the 80’s & 90’s. As a consequence, he found himself unable to obtain loans and/or investments from any major US banks.

Desperate to locate financial conduits to bleed money out of Mother Russia, numerous Russian mobsters found a willing accomplice in the desperate and Useful Idiot Donald J Trump. This is the straightforward and economical explanation for how Trump could convert a $40 million property into $100 million (a 250% profit) in the space of two years, during the worst real estate market of the last 50 years. The first tent pole of the Trump circus tent, and the the key to his financial resurrection was to establish himself as a preeminent cash launderer. The second (and his only genius) was his recognition that a sizable proportion of the American public was as stupid as he was and could be convinced to dump their life savings into his cornucopia of scams.
To summarize: he is a cheat and fraud who likes Russia for the simple reason that they gave him $$$.
