The irony in my post slipped right by you. To be clear, Trump is not a genius. It was his accountants who figured out how to convert his bondholders' and banks' investment losses into tax deductions for Trump. And I do not believe defaulting on the national debt is a good idea.
I won't be voting for Trump or Biden. Trump is a lot like a couple of people I've had the misfortune to work with -- impetuous, overconfident, selfish narcissists who are very good at selling and very poor at delivering. And who play fast and loose with the truth. Those characteristics, related to character, should be disqualifying. Biden might have been OK for a Democrat, but Sanders and others have swung him far to the left. He's going to jack up taxes, run up the national debt even more than Trump, and I shudder to think what may happen to the oil and gas industry, which is very important to our well being here in Texas.
And it's not only that. The Democratic and Republican Parties could at least pick candidates for the most powerful position in the world from people who are on top of their game or close to it. These two are twenty years past it.
