It was more complex than Maga2020. It was “Maga2020!”. Only an expert would be able to get the exclamation point at the end. ---

Strange. He’s assured us that he’s never met anyone in his life who is smarter than he is. Trump is a genius, by his own estimation. This matter of trivially obvious passwords must somehow be connected with that five-dimensional chess thing I keep hearing about – on the surface, the man appears to be an idiot, but we lesser beings are simply not seeing the big picture. ---

Wasn’t this already all over the news – including being discussed on this board – several months ago? ---
