But what has he actually "controlled" that
he hasn't fucked up.

Nothing he's controlling is "working."

I know he's doing a lot of damage and harm
to many people and places... but that's not
the same as controlling the country in a way
that makes it workable.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible with the kind
of people we have in charge.
