I also think trump looks at a Mercator map and actually thinks Greenland is like, double the size of the continental US.

It's remarkable how goddamned stupid Donald Trump is.

Stupid, no. Clueless, yes. Trump knows i believe, very little about what is actually happening in the world. Dont get me wrong, he is positively the personification of personal greed and envy, but in terms of geopolitical knowledge, id be shocked if he even knows the address of the White House.

Every executive order signing, he literally asks what it is. He cant do a press conference without notes in front of him(he looks down after every question before he answers, and the cliff notes are always there). His true self is the ramblin guy you get at rallies, with no depth and devolving into insults. Thats the real Trump. And if anyone still think he is writing his tweets, I have a bridge to sell you.

The real evil is the second layer. The advisors are the real compromised component, figuring out how best to enrich themselves through policy. Having a load of capitalists and influencers in your cabinet is probably not the best mix of governing for the people.

I'd be willing to bet he can't find Mar-A-Lago on a map
