Incompetence will always catch up to you. [View all]
For example, when you hire one of your flunkies to paint the Reflection Pool around the Lincoln Monument and it turns into a debacle for the whole world to see. Obviously not a professional job.
And when your ego demands that you put your name on the JFK Memorial and Arts Center and it turns out to be a very bad decision and your name has to be removed.
Not only is it embarrassing but it is expensive. It costs the taxpayers money to fix the incompetence.
As when you put tariffs on fruits and vegetables and never consider how it might affect the average person when they go to the grocery store. It is incompetence.
As when you start a war in the Middle East, not realizing that your bombs will lead to attacks upon your allies in the area, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, that is necessary for the oil supply to operate freely, and the price of gasoline goes up and you have created a crisis in the oil reserves getting dangerously low. Another example of incompetence.
As when you decide to tear down half of the White House, the entire East Wing, without consultation with Congress or anyone, except your demolition crew, it is dangerous incompetence. Then after you tell the taxpayers that it will cost them nothing, they learn the price tag is in the hundreds of millions, or perhaps a billion dollars, to replace the historic building with a gaudy ballroom nobody wants.
The American people cannot afford much more of this incompetence.
Because it is arrogant incompetence. Only you can fix it. You are the only expert the world needs.
