I still think he is a bumbling idiot, he may be manipulated, but he is an ignorant fool nonetheless

This interpretation also satisfies occam's and Hanlon's razors (although it's hard to ignore the malice)

The term is useful idiot. A loyal dog you can point at a lake and tell it attack and it's too stupid or loyal to not drown trying.

That's valid, but it's why I said he's not just an idiot. I'm not denying he's an idiot, I'm just saying it's vastly more nefarious than that.
