6. To call it manipulation is to give him too much credit. Can't say he is insane and a mastermind.

You can't claim he is deep in dementia and at the same time running a large financial scheme.

You can't claim he is less intelligent than the average college student and a financial genius at the same time.

You can't claim he is blundering his way wrecking the economy and is an economic manipulator at the same time.

He is much more like the first clause of those four statements than the second clause.

He is a little insane, somewhat demented, very stupid, and so out of it that he doesn't realize how much he is blundering.
