Depends on your definition of idiot. I use the term to describe someone of low intellectual capacity. But understand that this is now not used as seen to be offensive. In that respect he makes decisions that are good for him, and his close followers. Whether they are in the interests of the US that is open to debate (in the same way that history will debate all major leaders eg was Thatcher/Reagan good for the UK/US). On line definitions: An idiot is most commonly a term for a stupid, foolish, or senseless person, often used as an insult or to express frustration with someone's silly behavior, but historically it was a clinical term for profound intellectual disability, which is now considered offensive and obsolete. The word comes from Greek roots meaning a "private person" or layman, evolving to signify ignorance and lack of skill before becoming a derogatory label for low mental capacity. Modern Usage Self-deprecation: Used to describe one's own silly mistakes ("I felt like an idiot when I tripped"). Insult/Exclamation: A very foolish person or someone acting stupidly ("Don't be such an idiot!"). Historical/Obsolete Meaning Medical Classification: Once a technical term for someone with extreme intellectual disability (IQ below 25), a usage now rejected as offensive. Origin Greek (idiōtēs😞 A private citizen, layman, or someone lacking professional knowledge. Latin (idiota😞 An uneducated or ignorant person. The notable recent 'idiot' was Johnson who of course played the fool (lovable rogue) but that served him well So ultimately not a good word as it can be used in many ways. Ignorant is another good example - can be stupid, unaware, or simply rude. -

I couldn’t disagree more - Trump is an idiot and he was voted for by a combination of idiots, racists and arrogance you can complain about weak opponents all you like - but when the alternative is a “strong” thug then the problem is those who favour the thug. All we face was predicted - and he doesn’t have widespread support across many parts of America. So that leaves parts of America responsible for this oh and in the list of things you call him you forgot the bit about being a p(that’s enough! Ed) Vance might be worse in many ways - but he doesn’t have the “glam” that Trump has. Once Trump is exposed properly or dies, nowhere near as many people will vote for his successor see also his embarrassing fanboy: Farage -
At least he is no doubt classified as a "useful idiot" by the Russians
