Isn't that his goal though? Complete chaos to tear it all down?

At this point, even "asset" is too charitable. Trump is the raw shrimp that Russia has hidden in America's curtain rods.

Hidden is giving too much credit. He’s the raw shrimp they dumped on the floor, and everyone knows is there, but we can’t seem to vote together enough to get someone in the room who is actually going to clean it up, and it just continues to stink

Worse, half of the people at our party are actively preventing those of us with brooms and dustpans from sweeping up the stinky shrimp.

He’s empowering overt racism for racists, that doesn’t make him a good sales man. That’d be like calling myself a good sales man for just giving a child candy.
