I agree with that. I don't consider him intelligent at all. My suspicion is that it's just a case of him having a loose collection of these outcomes that he considers wins, and then he just kicks it off, hoping he can manipulate things along the way towards one of his wins. I don't think he has an actual plan. He's an improvisational manipulator, very similar to a former president. Then again, it seems the main "win" he often has in mind is just getting attention, so maybe his need for attention exceeds even what I thought.
