I do earnestly believe he's a moron, but there have been plenty of moments where I've at least had to grant him that he's seemingly more strategic than some give him credit. For example, I think there's an evil brilliance in his "people are saying __!" technique, and in never explicitly demanding or stating the things that he wants his followers to do and believe.

As you say, though, enough of the BS. Happy to check out a draft link or wait till it's published! I'll add you as a writer to Thought Thinkers, too, for any future political pieces you might be working on or if they're just taking too long and you'd prefer to submit this one there instead. Zero pressure, though! I've been trying to lean into politics a bit more at the publication lately with the election nearing.

Anyway, thanks for reading and for the kind words, Brett!
