Actually, he was a very successful conman. Got elected president and is making a ton of bucks at taxpayer expense. I do hope history concentrates on those who voted for this POS and how they came to do so. And include in that focus his enablers and foreign players who helped since 2016.

When the photons my camera collected left this galaxy, the collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia was going on, which started the formation of the Himalayas and led to a long-term global cooling trend by altering atmospheric composition.

Total obeisance to Trump is a prerequisite for any job in his admin. And that 'total obeisance" effectively culls out smart and competent people and leave the dregs who have no clue what they are doing but not bright enough to recognize that fact. Textbook Dunning-Kruger.
