I mean, he achieved his goals.

He gave Putin more income and sanction relief
He got to let drunkboy blow up some muuzlims.
He got a few weeks off of seeing Epsteins name in major headlines.
His circle got to personally benefit from the betting markets.
He got to divert interceptors from the Ukrainian war.

And he was, loathe than i am to admit it, smarter than Putin or Bush. He surrendered quickly instead committing to a multiyear war then eventually having to surrender.
