The real reason that Trump is not only stupid, but totally incompetent.

[Stuart G]

....Let's try to imagine another person as President of the United States. A threat to the United States is approaching. It is a very dangerous threat. Some kind of "flu" or much worse. A threat that could kill
thousands of people.....What to do???

.....Simple answer: Call in a group of experts on this, "flu" and ask these experts what to do.

Pick your experts from a variety of very highly qualified people who study the problem. Ask other countries what have they done..

.Then, here is the key....Follow the advise of the experts and leaders of other countries on what to do with the"flu" and have one of those "experts" follow up to make sure what was supposed to be "done" was/is done...

So how long would this take?
Let's say the meeting is called for 11am in the morning, and is over by 1pm. Not complicated since "others have dealt with the problem"...then the President could talk to his advisors and hear out what to do...Then start to ...."do it"...Maybe this talk takes another day..

....Let's say the this getting the info stuff takes ........one day, and getting started take: one day
Yep....two days....just 2 days........................ (maybe getting started takes 2 days, not one)
Now the President of the United States has help, and once the orders were given, lots of people would
help to save lives from ............"the flu"
..... Why?....Lots of people in the U.S.A. care about ........"saving lives"

Sadly, and ironically, Donald Trump is currently the President of the United States
doesn't give a "shit" or"a damn about saving lives." How do I know?

........ Because if Trump gave a shit about this topic, he would have done something about it.

1. Well,

Trump gives a shit, literally. At least once a day, but not about that topic.

Now think about the looks on some of the faces of people he has been with in the past and you might see something very different.

2. It's not particularly difficult to choose to do the right thing

But the convulsions that Trump and his henchmen must make to justify their idiotically corrupt actions... boggles the mind

4. Thank You, Repeat your sentence: "It's not particularly difficult to do the right thing"

5. Choosing is the easy part

Doing takes a bit more character.

3. He admitted to criminal negligence when he had that phone call with Woodward.

He admitted that it was extremely deadly and contagious. Publicly, he and his fellow Republicans said the opposite. Why?

My theory is that they were delighted to see the original wave explode is larger citeies with Democratic leadership and voters. They saw it as an opportunity to hurt the Democrats, by killing them off. But, being ideologues with no interest in science, they are now dealing with their bases dying in red states.

There ought to be a class action suit by the families of Covid victims to hold Trump liable, criminally and civilly.

6. Trump is the First Dunning-Kruger President in history. nt

11. This is way beyond dunning-kruger

Donnie rejects the entire concept of facts outside his own imagination.

He doesn't think he's an expert because he's learned enough of the facts on some topic. He thinks he's an expert because he wants to be praised as an expert and he will bully people until they say he's an expert.

And when people cave and treat him like an expert, that's validates to him that he's an expert. That's what it *means* to be an expert. People call you one.

That's not dunning-kruger. It's delusion, or malignant narcissism. Insanity, one way or another.

7. Been saying this for a while. All he had to do was exactly what

you described. Delegate the hell out of this thing. Shut the fuck up about it. Repeat what they tell you to say. He'd won in a landslide....... Which is utterly disgusting. But nevertheless, can you imagine how dangerous he'd be if he possessed an ounce of competence?!

8. Killa Con's response to Covid 19 from day one was 'how does this affect me and

my reelection'. He knew the truth but did little or nothing.
Now 13,000,000+ are infected and 270,000+ are dead - genocide, mass murder or criminal negligence - take your pick!
Bottom line - lock him the fuck up!

9. He doesn't comprehend actually having an effect on the world beyond what people say about him

Image is literally everything for him. Everything he's done regarding covid has been just to try to change what people say about him and about covid.

He said it's going to go away because he wanted people to stop talking about it. He wants people to act like it doesn't exist because then he thinks people will stop taking about it. If people aren't talking about it, it doesn't exist. If it reflects poorly on him, all he cares about is shutting people up.

He simply can't comprehend the concept of actually solving a problem. The only tool in his arsenal is to bully people into saying things he prefers to hear.

10. Here is a depressing observation.

He is proud and delighted that so many have died under his watch. In his twisted mind it is a good thing as it gives him attention. Notoriety and fame are the same thing to this malignant narcissist. He will always be remembered. That's all that matters.

12. I still think it is because he is too lazy to do his job.

Yes, and stupid and incompetent.

13. Trump answers to a higher power.

No one has done more to divide America since Jefferson Davis.

[Blue Owl]

14. And he had a pandemic playbook he chose to toss out...

And a team of trained experts he "fired" simply because they were hired by Barack Obama.

Trump is a pitiful, pathetic, psychopathic piece of shit.

15. Trump balances being stupid and incompetent

by being evil and vindictive.
