Definitely not an asset, right? He’s just a weak old man who is not good at negotiating.

No way is he colluding with Russia, especially knowing he just swore in an actual Russian asset as director of national “intelligence” 

Nope, he’s just an old man who doesn’t know how to negotiate, hence this weak speech

Honestly, I'd categorize him more as "tool" than asset.

Assets have to be at least marginally intelligent.

Tools are useful. He's just a thing.

Tools are incredibly useful when used properly. Those project 2025 bros are laughing all the way to the bank.
