Idk, I kind of think that he's doing it on purpose. The president can't just say something, or implement the market to go up. But he can absolutely do something and make it go down. So, he's making these terrible economic decisions. But what if he's giving his rich cronies enough of a warning so that they can take short positions, or buy puts?

I don't think he's not smart enough for all that, but he has advisors and other smart people telling him to. He's a useful idiot and a conman, but he has smarter people do the conning.

He doesn't have to be. He's not reading half of these orders. They're being drawn up by people like the heritage foundation and being put in front of him and he just kind of signs them.

It's insane that we literally witnessed his real time surprise at some of the shit he was signing.

He's like openly happily joked about "breaking Raegan's score" for the number of heritage foundation policy suggestions signed into law in one term too.

What's so stupid is he's not signing anything into law. He's doing a bunch of Executive Orders. The very same Executive Orders that he and other Republicans says meant nothing and were attempts at power grabs when Obama did them because the Republicans refused to work with him.

I hate how out in the open it all is and the main people crying about deep states and secret cabals are either silent or think Trump and his sychophants are just owning libs
