Fucking moron keeps bringing up Hunter Biden even in peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. What a disgrace Trump is.

A very small part of me wants to believe the “he’s playing 4D chess, he’s six moves ahead, and we just can’t see his next play yet” MAGAts. Because the only other alternative is that he’s a fully senile idiot who holds the most powerful seat in the country. And unfortunately for my sanity, I know his actions are not due to genius.

When he tries to gaslight on live TV and thinks nobody notices when he takes credit for random things and say random years to look not ignorant, it's not under any consideration excepting a psychosis

They're attempting to extort Ukraine for their own personal benefit by using our tax money to do it. The worst part is that they sat around and rehearsed that shit.

My personal theory is much darker than that: They got aggressive in the hopes that they could provoke Zelensky into talking back. So they could then clip it and use it as justification for cutting ties and handing the country to Russia. Trump is obviously acting like a Russian asset, but pulling a complete 180 on the Ukraine thing will need to be justified somehow. This was their attempt at justification.

I agree with that as well. It's a catch 22 either way. They step back and even help Russia and get minerals or they extort them. If I were in their position I would agree to the mineral deal once an aid package is secured, then prevent it from happening due to "security concerns" etc. and then just turn around and say fuck you or say I need more in order to ensure srcurity and safety, there's landmines/unexploded ordinance, etc. and it just never happens due to equipment and business people getting "stuck" in customs forever due to ever changing requirements and regulations.

At the beginning of Trump's first term I suspected a Boris Johnson style idiot facade, but it soon became clear it was real.

While it probably was in that ballpark cuz he's an idiot, that transcript image that made the rounds a bit ago was a forgery, so it's unknown what his gpa was. Plenty of provable real stuff that shows him to be a moron, however.

Another good indicator that he didn't do well, is the fact that he didn't release it himself.

He is 100% the kind of person who if he did at least mediocre in the universities he would have posted the gpa's himself, but he hasent which makes me think that he was easily bottom of the barrel gpa wise

It's the same reason that I firmly believe he cooks his books for taxes, if he wasn't he would be in everyone's face that they were wrong.

As someone who graduated college with a 2.7 and is leagues smarter than Trump, I can at least corroborate anecdotally that his GPA was sub 1.0.
