And that sentence is a comfortable cliche that invites one to stop thinking about the matter any further.
Often, if you have a "shades of gray" situation, I think it's more interesting to examine the seeming contradictions and try to find out where exactly your intuition went wrong. In this case, how did a chaotic organisation like the Trump administration, headed by someone with a history of scam and fraud, manage to pull this off?
...or you could just say "world is complicated" and be done with it.
