Analysis
Donald Trump is afflicted with a bad case of incompetence. Though America would love
to see a President capable of rational and sophisticated thought, it seems that the ballot boxes
failed to provide her with this for the present moment. President Trump has welcomed global
warming, that is, if it even exists, as a cure for New York’s winter chill (7,9). He is unclear as to
how many Articles the United States Constitution has (53), possibly because he is such a stranger
to books (54). This aversion to the written word is also apparent in his disgustingly
oversimplified intelligence briefings (137), too short to be adequate for an adept leader. When he
does receive intelligence, it is seemingly not completely considered and analyzed (142, 144), or
is flaunted like a filet mignon (143). Trump seems to lack the understanding of the importance of
nuclear disarmament (67, 132). His spokespeople insist that terror attacks happened even when
they did not (135), and when confronted about them, claim they are an alternative, yet factual,
way of looking at reality (74). His same spokespeople then have issues following ethics rules
(107). The President incoherently rambles campaign slogans at foreign leaders (116, 118), and
chooses Cabinet members which are not only unqualified, but almost dangerously and extremely
so (122, 124, 140). The President should note that battles lost in court cannot be battled in court
once more (106), sending federal agents to solve murders is a bit overkill (78), and banning the
entry of approximately 200 million people into the United States with no warning is not the best
way to conduct foreign policy (138).
