Ok, question for Trump supporters: Do you ACTUALLY believe that Trump is like, a smart and calculated person? Or do you think the people around him just get done the stuff you want and he’s the charismatic figurehead?

A bit of both. That's what made him a successful businessman too. He takes risks, and finds skillfull people to cover the blind spots.

Giggling at the idea that Kash Patel and all the others are “skillful people”

Do you have any hesitation about the fact that he is getting old? Like I’m not saying you have to think he’s senile, but like, you must admit/recognize that he isn’t as there as he once was

I don't know if I’d say he's not there as much, maybe a bit. But he's most certainly changed a lot from his first term (which also makes it hard to judge how much of that change is from him getting old or the wide variety of other things that have transpired in the last decade). Like we saw under Biden though, the cabinet can basically run nearly autonomously. They're really the ones that do most of the day to day heavy lifting.

Wasn't talking about Kash lol. But I’ve been living Rubio, he's certainly been very competent lately, and a lot of the operational skill also comes from the next level down, its not always the personalities at the top.

Absolutely, a million dollars is a lot easier to squander than you think, he put the money to good use. As for his failed ventures, its a task of industry leaders to take risks that smaller outfits cannot absorb. America was built on taking business risk, that's what’s driven innovation (not that Trump is necessarily an innovator, just saying that taking that kind of risk is essential to our financial system).
