Olbermann has it right. Anyone who thinks Trump is playing 12th dimensional chess is not paying attention. To me, it was obvious during the campaign - he would stomp all over what would have been a really bad news cycle for Clinton to make himself look bad.

One thing my wife does that drives me mad is to constantly ignore the simple rule “Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.” So much of what Trump et al. do is just so dumb, the only thing that prevents them being rode out of town on a rail is that about 40% of America is even dumber.
