I’d argue that he’s not stupid, I would argue that he is genuinely unwell. His private behavior, documented in a lawsuit by his former associates, paints a picture of a man whose behavior in private is as dangerous and unhinged as his current public behavior is. He called himself the second coming of Jesus in a private email, allegedly.

He is another case of a public figure that would’ve gotten positive coverage in the history books if he’d had the good fortune to die a while ago. Him and Giuliani, who also seems unwell.

You could argue that. I think that by 2021 most public figures should understand that deleting a post is not equivalent to not posting it in the first place. "In a deleted post..." is a common way to start news stories these days.

He either posted something stupid like an idiot and then deleted for damage control, or he's playing five dimensional chess with us, but my money is on the former.
