He made stupid moves, he made smart moves.....Your singular emotionally attached focus on the stupid ones is your undoing.
Fact is that he was surrounded by people who smiled in his face while giving him shitty advice and monkey-wrenching a bunch of his potential smart moves (i.e. vetoing the budgets)....Ignoring Rand Paul on Gina Haspell was monumentally stupid....Failure to fire Wray and Fauxi were also.....But sitting around wringing your hands with buyer's remorse like you do all the time is plain old pathetic.....Your expectations being too high is nobody's fault but your own.
