And you know what? He probably is the smartest.

However he can’t use his brain to adjudicate himself out of every problem, especially when his league looks like a group of insular, empathetically bankrupt, racist bigots.

He can and should do a lot more as this is on his watch.

It’s banal and tiresome watching him evaluate everything as either liability or a legal pissing match to sharpen his own ego.

Simple question

Who pays his salary?
