    Sorry? Who thought he was ever competent? Surprisingly lucky in some ways. Teflon coated in many ways. But competent?

  2. Today- Oil over $100 a barrel

    3 months from today- American oil companies report record profits. American companies receive $150 billion in tariff reimbursements.

    The harder question the article probably doesn’t answer is why the myth was so durable for so long despite so much contrary evidence. Competence mythology attached to authoritarian adjacent figures has a specific psychological function, it lets people feel protected rather than responsible and that function doesn’t go away just because the evidence contradicts it.

    And nobody has the balls to stop it, or remove him. Have yet to figure out why all the Republicans are so damn scared of him.

    Who we? White, Latino and many others in America bought into that fiction…please make sure to make that distinction.

    Black Women have been steadfast calling him a crook from day 1.

    Someone who doesn’t understand a selective stimulus program wrote this article.

    Where do you think the administration is spending its dollars?

    If you’re Boeing, you’re getting orders for new F-15EX fighters after the friendly fire incident last week. Where is that plane made? Missouri.

    Tell me why Josh Hawley opposed the War Powers vote again?

    Oh ok.

    Follow the money and stop writing memes into articles and pretending like you know what the fuck is up.

    He massively fucked up the first time too with Covid. But we never learned our lessons in this country

    The only people who thought Trump was competent are the stupid masses who comprise his base.

    Where I live, a black woman in command was the only reason. And she could laugh. She is the better choice for everyone . Now we are paying for their small minds.

  10. This bitch failed at football, steak, alcohol, and gambling

    In America that’s what we call failing for the cycle.

    He’s a failure of a businessman, and it was public knowledge. If an NFL team hired a coach who lost every game he coached in Pop Warner, high school, and college, you would not want him to coach your team unless you were hoping your team sought to tank.

  11. What myth? He failed so badly in 2020 that he lost the election. I don’t know why people forget this fact.

    And it’s not just that many MAGA voters believe Trump to be competent, it’s that they think governing is easy. These people cannot understand nuance at all, and have no appreciation for how complex governing millions of people is. They believe Trump is fit for the job because they think it’s as easy as waving your hands and making it so. Complex questions involving science, law, ethics, economics, diplomacy, etc are so beyond their understanding that they desperately yearn for a fellow idiot who tells them “it’s simple, just listen to me.”

    The myth created, nurtured and still broadcast by the pedoligarch-owned mass media and social media?

    Anyone who thought he was competent before his first term was delusional. Anyone who thought he was competent during his first term and beyond is insane.

  15. I didn’t need a war with Iran or Venezuela to know that his competence was a myth. The real myth is that the US is a functioning democracy.
