Taking a stance on a "border wall" proves Trump is stupid.

Are there other concepts that Trump could take a stance on? Here are a few: child abuse, political corruption, funding for the military, funding for national parks, funding for justice department, many other kinds of "funding", highway safety, reforms of justice department, and so on. Many can be added that everyone can understand. Taking such a stance on a "border wall" that a lot people on the border do not want for lots of good reasons is stupid. Closing the government down for this proves that Trump is stupid and does not have his priorities correct. He is incompetent as well as stupid.

It will make this "border wall" discussion look like a discussion on which movie to go to. While Trump is "ignorant" and "stupid", I honestly believe that this is not part of a "takeover plan". If it is, Trump is much more than stupid or ignorant. He is insane.

However, there is the Sammy 'the bull' Gravano case history. Despite a full pardon for 19+ murders and a witness protection program free of charge, Sammy's criminal character drove right back into crime - and life imprisonment.

traitortrump also seems to have a kind of criminal character, that leads to evermore deeper problems, without much regard to 'overall risk assessment and management'.
