And it's not that the topic didn't get any of his brain time; like half his tweets were about it.
Yet, despite all of this, he now does it actively! This is not taking advantage of an unsolicited collusion op, he actively approached another head of state for dirt on a likely rival candidate - by him-****ing-self!
I cannot see how this doesn't show either...- he's senile/demented and already forgot what he learned
- he's stupid because he didn't learn or ignored what he learned
- he's stubborn and does it because everybody says you can't do it (and still stupid because ignoring consequences)
- he's corrupt/criminal and does it because that's just how he rolls
- some woo-woo option (controlled by aliens/lizards/Illuminati, is really the Antichrist, that kinda stuff).
Any other possibility?
I wrote this about the Ukraine stuff. The newest China stuff is even more stupid. As I understand it, he just asked them to buy American farming products. If he just did that without adding it's to help with his reelection, it would have been fine. In contrast to the Ukraine stuff, what he asked for in itself was fine. This is comedically stupid; it's satire becoming reality (we call that Realsatire).
