You wish this timeline was Idiocracy. In that universe the president realized he didn't know best, freely admitted it, and recruited the smartest man alive. Even gave him credit for the problems they solved.

That would _never_ happen in this timelime. Imagine Trump thinking "Maybe I dont know anything about the weather, maybe I should ask an expert instead of suggesting nuking a hurricane."

Trump brainstorming about getting light or bleach in the body to kill Covid was a shimmer of him actually acting intelligently. He was just way back on the starting line, whereas most people cover that ground when they're children.

By what metric is he an extremely succesful businessman ?

Why would he have to listen to experts to become president ?

I personally think he's an expert salesman... But take away the wealth and time he was born in and he's neither president nor nearly as rich (he'd be comfortably off <> salesman.

The truth is not always, but definitely very often, in the middle. I think most people don't like that answer.
