"Some people see [Trump's] badness as some kind of bankshot testament to his ruthless policy efficiency. He doesn’t get caught up in PC nonsense. He delivers hard truths and makes the trains run on time. But of course that’s not true, which is the other main thing that comes through when you actually watch Trump for any length of time: He’s a blowhard doofus with soup for brains."

But he's surrounded by layers and lawyers (not a typo) of those without soup for brains, but with pure evil, not just insatiable instant gratification like his. People like that have existed in this country since the founding, and craved an opportunity to destroy democracy and turn the US into a dictatorship. But most were smart (shrewd) enough not to try until they found the perfect "useful idiot." If it were just Trump by himself, or even with just half of the "volunteer army" of protectors, we would be again laughing at the tabloid celebrity as we did for decades. With only half of GOP Senate support he would have been swiftly removed at the first impeachment, if not before by the 25th Amendment.
