Jeffrey Sachs confirms what we all know.......

'This is a stupid man. This is not a man making detailed sophisticated calculations. From everything I know, and I don't know him personally but I know a lot of people who do know him personally, I do know a lot of people who interact with him, this is an old man, impetuous, impulsive, not knowledgeable, easily swayed, and unable to pay attention to briefings. Unable to study a problem. So in weighing things, I don't think we're actually seeing a rational calculator making difficult complex calculations. I think we are seeing an impulsive old man who is way out of his depths, surrounded by the least competent group that I have ever seen in American politics, and that's saying a lot.'
