It’s hard to mess up. In fact, Trump had to run off at least a few gambling addicts to tank his casino. Modern software engineers would find it difficult to create such friction in a digital environment.
I would argue that some people in charge are very shrewd and get into positions of power. And some people are decent and become leaders (Zelenskyy and Obama as examples)
This applies to both of them too. They weren’t elected for being smart, they both are smart but they leaned on charisma, speaking skills, and a sense of ‘genuineness’ to win their supporters’ favour. I really meant it. People simply do not get elected for seeming smart, and if they are smart they won’t try to sound smart while running for office in America.
I was fond of Obama when I was younger, but I look back with disdain on a lot of his track record. He sold people hope, and people look back on the time before Trump with understandably rosy glasses though, so I don’t begrudge anyone liking him.
I wouldn’t bet a dime that the sun would rise tomorrow on a gambling app run by a guy like him.

Two important facts. One, there is no such thing as idiot-proof. Two, anyone in charge did not get there by not being an idiot.
I dunno… have you heard Trump speak?
Sorry for the confusing double negative, Trump sounding that way is exactly my point
