On one end, he’s a fucking idiot that can do major damage. On the other end, he’s a fucking idiot that has no idea what he’s doing so not much will be accomplished.

The major downside of his idiocy is that he lets other slightly more competent people do the grunt work with little oversight so they are the ones that do the major damage. They’re the ones that take advantage of the idiocy for their own agenda. For example, the “Muslim ban” wasn’t Trump’s idea. A slightly more competent person implemented that and because Trump is an idiot, Trump has no input. Trump’s just happy to be invited.
