This is far better than the first term where decisions were made with absolutely no thought, then continually doubled down on the bad decisions consequences be damned - it's just like the flu, encouraging police riots, federal shock troops teargassing a church, stop the steal, etc. Your comment is like when everyone jumped on Trump for talking about injecting bleach and getting light inside the body - "what a dumb idea, blah blah." No, throwing out random thoughts to see if they might spark some viable idea is called brainstorming - that was literally the guy behaving at his most intelligent. This is him actually accepting some sort of feedback. We should encourage these things since we're stuck with him, at least until the dementia finishes its job.
