He bought his way into politics, came in with a chainsaw (almost literally), realized he didn't want to be in politics after all and rage quit. It may not make him a dumbass, but it certainly makes him some sort of ass.

I mean, that still feels overpriced.

Biden won in 2020 with just ~$2 billion. Though he didn't get all the branches.

Neither did Obama, who won two terms for <$2 billion.

Are the house and courts really so expensive?
