but someone smart wouldn't have undermined his strategy with 91 indictments and financial vulnerabilities. Despots generally fall eventually because of their limited thinking. Hitler for example, after wielding enormous power destroyed himself with stupid bungles like attacking Russia. He was much like Trump in thinking he was smarter than others and didn't need to listen to advice.
I think the poster knows of what he speaks, but I'm not talking about IQ here. A person with no moral compass doesn't make decisions even in his own interest. However things turn out, power won't make him happy, he won't have the love he seeks, and the emotional shutting down he must do to overlook the destruction he wages will destroy him mentally and physically. He lives in fear and will until the day he dies. Which won't be so far off.
