I happened to come across two pieces of content on the same day that are very different from one another, but are essentially saying the same thing. The first is an Instagram post saying: «The President of the United States and the dumbest motherfucker on Earth should be 2 different people.» Then there’s Anne Applebaum who puts it in nicer prose but does not mince words either: «Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places.»
