I agree with him on low IQ or lazy Americans, but its condescending to say it. I don't think that helps him if he's running for office. Why alienate the people you expect to vote for you? When DOGE didn't want him involved I saw it as a red flag about him. I don't know what happened but members of the team had a problem with him.

VR is the smartest guy in the room but he probably looks down on everyone else and thats a turn off.
