I hate to say it (I really hate to say it), but I don't think Trump is incompetent. I think he has different goals than you think he does, and is executing them successfully.

I mean, obviously he's a profoundly stupid person, but he's some kind of idiot-savant that manages to succeed at his criminally evil goals despite that. Might be why all the dipshits admire him so much, come to think of it.

His goal is to stay out of prison, which he's 100% successful at.

Why do you think Vance is doing all the traveling and trump plays golf all day? He doesn't care. He got a get out of jail free card already.

A useful idiot. He is manipulated by those around him to achieve self-serving goals.
