I don't buy that.
You can have at most two out the three of these things:
1. Trump is smart
2. Trump is a good person who love this country
3. Political solutions matter
He was in over his head from 2016-2020. His supporters will excuse him by saying "he didn't know how bad it was" or "he had the wrong people surrounding him" which really isn't an excuse for someone who has been hobnobbing around with those swamp creatures for decades.
He became president out of spite and pride, to accomplish it he simply read the room and figured out that all you have to do to get popular support is to shout mean things at democrats with bravado.
It paid off for him because (at least in my opinion) between 2020 and 2024 he cut a deal with the swamp to keep up the charade. Maybe I'm too cynical, but if voting for Trump is the *real* answer for our problems it was a stupid question.
