Well, his level lies in profiting from chaos and destruction. He learned that from Roy Cohn.
He once proudly proclaimed that he always made a profit from all of his bankruptcies.
He would buy a company , sell all its assets and declare bankruptcy where his creditors were reimbursed pennies on the dollar. Apparently, this is a legal form of fraud.
Please note I wrote ‘how can…lead the way’
I absolutely agree, he was, is, noting but a vandal, he doesn’t think beyond the destruction. He was putty in the hands of the tactical masters of the universe who enabled and fueled him and were in turn influenced by his trash. . . .
For instance, Russia would have never started their insane war against Ukraine had be had any sort of half way serious president of either party.
I’m just tossing this in to support my supposition regarding him being a useful idiot for smarter richer brains.
