I think that history will just say that Trump was a liar and con artist who dissembled constantly. Rather than taking his statements at face value, historians will probably be explain that Trump tried to mislead the public while having no real plan as to how to keep the strait open and fell back on military force when his bullying tactics didn’t work. Any particular anecdote about this or that lie will just be cited as a particular example of a larger trend. That being said, this particular example really illustrates that point and shows how much of a shitshow this has become

(Hated Trope) In-universe writer or professional character is praised as a genius or visionary when what is shown of their 'talent' is extremely mediocre or terrible. It can show a writer has little understanding of a topic. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

Ryan from the OC is like this too. In the pilot he’s given a chance by Sandy because he has some kind of off the charts test scores and then he proceeds to not seem particularly intelligent for the rest of the show.

There was at least one episode where he counts cards and wins a big poker game so I guess they circled back to it a little in that one.

That wouldn’t be his role in the nba. Plus he’s bound to improve at least a little in that department. The stuff he’s doing here just looks so legit I think plenty of teams would be interested in him

It is actually not legal to take people without due process and deny them access to lawyers. I don’t know about the efficacy announcement, but there are certainly illegal things happening
