    Never said he was as stupid as many others have said, especially when he was younger. (Yeah, average at best, and that’s a left-handed insult.) But damn! Even in his dementia, the man got a talent for leading the narrative.

    I started out saying, “Nah. He’s not that smart to be distracting like that, just spewing his usual narcissistic shit in reaction to events.” But after he’s pulled this move 100 times, I’m a believer. Gotta admit, he’s damned good at working the headlines.
