He's not that smart, but the people manipulating him definitely are. This is the government equivalent of getting grandma who doesn't know what day it is to sign away all her assets to the nurse that takes care of her. So proud to be an American!

Report from a user calling the Augusta office of Senator Susan Collins... If you're a Mainer calling Collins, maybe add that her staff shouldn't be arguing with a constituent. Or calling them a fucking bitch.
“I just made my daily call to Senator Susan Collins and I called the Augusta office and spoke to a man asked him to define ice in border control. He started giving me a hard time about defunding border control would mean that illegal aliens could come in you do realize that right he said I said listen don’t give me your Nazi speak… He then said don’t call me a Nazi you fucking bitch and hung up on me. I’m horrified.”

English translation of statement from Ecuadorian Consulate regarding ICE’s attempt to enter their building in Minneapolis today:
REGARDING THE ATTEMPTED INCURSION INTO THE ECUADORIAN CONSULATE IN MINNEAPOLIS BY ICE AGENTS
This morning, the Ecuadorian Consul in Minneapolis reported that, at approximately 11:00 a.m., an agent from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attempted to enter the Consulate premises.
Consulate officials immediately prevented the ICE officer from entering the consular office, thus guaranteeing the protection of the Ecuadorian citizens who were present at the consulate at that time and activating the emergency protocols issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility.
Therefore, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic immediately submitted a letter of protest to the United States Embassy in Ecuador to ensure that acts of this nature are not repeated at any of Ecuador's consular offices in the United States.
REPUBLIC
OF ECUADOR

Yes, this is the payment of a bribe with a thin legal veil. Yes, the executives authorizing the payment may be prosecuted for public corruption crimes. Which is why Trump has dismantled the whole part of the DOJ that deals with public corruption.
