A lot of people in positions of power are smart, a lot of time they are the smartest people in the room and they let you know it too. They also make mistakes to degree's that are often avoidable if they didn't think and know they are smart. It's called hubris and it leads to downfalls all the time. It happens in politics, business, sport and more daily.
A lot of times in politics, people like Nenshi, Trudeau, Trump or whomever think they can walk on water, and then they need to cross the lake and don't.
