Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Donald Trump's administration with a Republican Congress and Elon Musk intends to take our essential programs away. Let me be clear, that's going to affect your daily lives. Our state budget can't make up for the damage that's done if they succeed.
