I don't agree tbh. He is too precising in the pursuit of his goals to properly represent them. The US is in the situation it is in so small part because of the sideways dedication and genuine know-how of this person.

He is, clearly, not wise (as is true of anybody willing to sell their fellows for power), but what he lacks in wisdom, he more than makes up for in cruel cunning. He is a bad representative of maga because maga is more like his prey or his host than it is something he's an actual part of. If maga is a fire, he is not a spark or a flicker, but a barrel of gasoline waiting to do what gasoline does
