Neither is Trump though. He sends out random panic threats on social media but, outside that, he is just being manipulated by his advisors and Netanyahu.
I meant that that GWB looked “smart” because of his puppeteers.
Trump is something else… puppet and puppeteers are all dumb.
That may well be, but I'm talking about solo interviews and other press events. No amount of competent coaching could get Trump to a place where he could be that coherent.
