It’s easy to dismiss these efforts as hilariously misguided but they’re not. They’re extremely calculated and he only needs it to pay off once to make everything worth it

Fortunately there seems to be a limit as far as what people are willing to tolerate. While I agree these moves are extremely calculated, they're being calculated by people who are almost completely disconnected from reality and whose egos cloud their judgment at every turn

Precisely. I make calculated decisions all the time. But I suck at math. Even "highly calculated" decisions can be very stupid. In fact, some levels of stupidity are only possible with some level of higher education.
