I agree. Trump just isn’t very smart. He failed to recognize that many around him were out to get him. How he doesn’t fire Comey immediately is proof he’s ignorant. We know DC is a den of vipers. Somehow Trump didn’t know this.
He failed to accomplish nearly everything he campaigned on. He exploded the debt yet little went to workers, but Wall Street and the MIC made out handsomely as they always do.
If you ain't in the DC elite you ain't got a chance. Like you said it's a den of vipers. I don't recall any early 'news' stories anywhere about Comey. Only later did the right wing media start questioning and getting alternate information. No one knew or was very smart. I watched the whole thing unfold with the hearings and Comey looking all so 'official' with his terse and sometimes arrogant replies. No, I don't blame Trump for not knowing, in fact, I think it's a good thing that the depth of the corruption in DC has now been unveiled.
The economy before COVID was booming, in fact, even the MSM reported it was the best economy in our lifetime. Gas prices went down, interest rates were low but money for lending was abundant causing the housing market to rise, Rocket Man got fizzled, we started pulling out of useless wars, our so-called 'allies' were made to pony up, China was brought to its knees, we pulled out of the stupid Climate accord saving billions.......and more. So, no I do not agree with your last statement.
