It was never a clever ploy. He’s an idiot that said something he shouldn’t have it may ruin far more than Twitter before all is said and done.

I didn't say it was clever, just that it was obvious. This was an opportunity for a foreign government (Saudis) to buy media/ narrative control over US media. A rightwing/ fascist government is easier for them to work on, so they do things that support its creation.
