Trump is old enough to default to what works for him. To some this comes off as "smart", but to most it comes off as dumb.

In all honesty, I think it's mostly autopilot at this point. I'm old enough to recognize an autopilot when I see one (Hey, we've all been doing it from time to time). But his autopilot is driving him and everyone with him straight i to the ground.

To those of you who have dabbled in pilotiing: CFIT

And yeah, that's pretty dumb.
