          @sama @paulg disagree. There's always greener grass and a populist willing to exploit.

          @paulg Trump seems to be gaming the process of public opinion formation in the US. Maybe we need to fix how people inform themselves? @sama

          @paulg @sama Trump is smart. But not enough to win. Thus he goes full retard to get media & world attention. He succeeded & we helped him
