Watching this new interview, however, what really stands out is how focused Trump is on arguing that, ultimately, he was just too stupid to know any better. He portrays himself as a doddering old man who is both daunted by his own disorganization and too dimwitted to understand this whole “subpoena” business.
I mean, I believe that he is stupid, and yet, if you know you’re stupid, you shouldn’t put yourself in a position to endanger the whole freaking world with your stupidity. So I’m sorry, but even if it is true, he still deserves to be held accountable, because stupidity isn’t an excuse.
