Stupid rich people get by well just by paying smart people to help them.

Like his last physical was entirely positive? Even the parts where a 'negative' result indicates health?

Trump should blame it on his mom, who was a woman.

Absolutely correct.
However, they have to have some level of 'street-wise' to pick smart people.

Without a doubt his mum was a woman unless she was transgender. Even then she/he would still have to be able to conceive.

Yet he won the election.

They just have to be able to recognize results, not talent.

Ability and talent can produce results. They organisers. However there can sometimes be an enormous amount of waste due to errors which can be covered up with crafty middle management.
For instance I was meeting with an executive from a famous Irish Brewery. He had just wasted £1 million pounds on renovations which were not needed. During that week he fired an experienced and very effective data base operator who was earning £9.50 per hour and replaced him with someone on £5.00 an hour.
The £1 million pound write off was written up as investment in new plant (with some other failures).
Then another example: UAE. A major Oil company purchased line pipe at the cost of hundreds of millions of US$.
A standard procedure is to emboss the Quality Certification Number onto the pipe itself as a standard safety and quality procedure to ensure a fully tested pipe was inspected at the works and therefore will not burst during operation.
To save money on costs, the Client decided the codes could be simply painted on. This was done.t
When the pipe arrived it was stacked on site in the open. The wind which carried grains of sand rubbed the painted marks off.
There was no way to identify the pipes with the certificates. The pipe was written off and a new lot purchased.
To save money, a clerk in our office earning 4 dhms per hour (£0.80) had his overtime cut from 3 hours to 2 hours. He explained that when he worked 3 hours, 2 hours paid for the cab since he could not use the company bus.
One of his bosses paid him out of his own pocket to do the overtime.
Basically there can be a lot of waste on a project; hence my point relating to cost-effective staff. Human Resource departments should be scrapped as that is where such concepts are never identified.

I'm starting to get worried that these pieces are falling together too neatly. Yes, they are narcissistic sociopaths, yes they have no moral fiber at all, and yes, they aren't that bright. But the pieces are falling together too neatly and I'm waiting for a Big D swerve.
Otherwise, why in the fuck is Jared Kuscher still in the White House?
I doubt that Trump is really that dim - he is just very rich, and can therefore cushion himself from reality to feed his babyish ego. It is a mistake, I think, to suppose that being rich is a qualification for ruling ordinary people.

If Donald Trump and his spawn aren't irrefutable living proof of that, then nothing is.
I wonder though, what the $ limit is. That is, what amount of money is so large that you can't lose it? Or is that when there is an amount of money that large, intelligent sharks step in to preserve it for the rich dummy on behalf of themselves?

From what little high finance I've been involved in, it comes in at a couple of "Units". (A Unit in these circles is $100m)
At that point you can get financial institutions over a barrel. Maybe not the big institutions, but you have to start somewhere!

If Daddy lost, no one would care. Since Daddy won, they'll have a Pardon Party.

Anyhow, it does reflect badly on Drumph family. But as far as Russian interference it seems woman used false pretenses to lure that idiot to discuss something else. She denies offering dirt on Clinton and says it was misunderstanding on Trump's part. If this is a best lead in "russia did it" then investigation is in trouble.

Uh - before the woman even came forward, everyone knew what she'd SAY. That doesn't make it true.
But that aside, the issue isn't whether she delivered dirt, the issue is that the whole event demonstrates an eagerness on the part of the Cheato campaign to collude with the Kremlin. Which it does.

Yes, but she has a pretty good explanation.
I agree, this reflects badly on character of Trump people. But in context of "Russia colluded with Trump" theory it's rather underwhelming and it actually shows that there was nothing serious.

The concern is not "Russia colluded with Trump", Barbos. Everyone knows that - and should have expected it. There is no culpability for any American there.
The concern is that Cheato attempted to collude with the Kremlin. That is a serious crime for which Cheato and his entire cabal of cheating thieves should be held severely accountable.
Of course she does. This is not the Kremlin's first rodeo, they're professional at creating non-attribution. They're not bumbling idiots like the Cheato family.

You seem to be confusing things here. There is 1) Trump collusion with Russian agents 2) Russian interference with the US election. These are not exclusive to each other.
There is one problem with that. Donald Jr. said he was conspiring to collude with her regarding intel on Clinton. She says this was about adoption.
The Trumps aren't the brightest bulbs in the light fixture store, however, it would seem quite uniquely stupid to even bring up collusion if there wasn't any hint of it from the Russian agent.
Don't worry, it wasn't even part of it yet. These leaks came from the White House.

Collusion is always involves at least 2 willing parties. And no, not everyone knows that. This latest revelation actually makes the case weaker.

Uh, attempted collusion doesn't require two parties. And THAT is what has been publicly demonstrated in the last couple of days.
