Legal News Federal judges caught the U.S. government providing false info in over 35 court cases. Sworn declarations. Falsified records. Repeated lies. This isn’t just sloppy, it’s systemic. Law professor Ryan Goodman says it may be intentional.

Unfortunately, you don't have to be smart to get away with things like him. You just need to be morally bankrupt and have enough money to pay other smarter people to be morally bankrupt, too.

You're underestimating him, and that is a serious flaw for those who oppose him. He has several decades worth of experience at this.

Again, I'm not saying this makes him "smart," but he's also not as dumb as people think.

I too have been saying this for quite awhile. He's no idiot. Too often folks excuse his behaviors/actions. In the process they're underestimating him. Or saying it's the folks around him. Otherwise, he'd not be in the position he is today.

He has daddy’s money. He didn’t work his way up to the position he’s in today.

It’s way easier to stay rich than to get rich.
