I have seen this in many parts of the World where corruption reigns, where dictators take charge, and people think they are INCOMPETENT.
Please learn this...THEY ARE VERY COMPETENT! We think they are not because of the evil things they do, but they know very well what they are doing. Take for instance trump's tariffs...They know this will devastate the economy, but they are going through with it because chaos is important for dictators, they have already found their enemies, the Democrats, and everything the new administration intentionally screws up will be blamed on Democrats, their intent is to create more division. Can anyone say they have been incompetent up to this point? They were able to get a buffoon elected again, a monkey who can use a pen (Grover Norquist), with all the trials, with all the true dirt we all know about trump and he got elected again...That is not incompetence, IT IS COMPETENCE!
To think the mafia is incompetent is wrong, they are evil, they are criminals but, they are very good at it.
So please, stop calling these people incompetent, it takes away from the truth of the situation, accept their evil ways are by design, premeditated, and well executed, when we accept this we can fight it better but, when we accept incompetence in their part we sit down to wait for a failure that will not happen. Just look at dictatorships around the World, look at Venezuela where people kept calling them incompetent, made jokes about it, but when it comes down to it...were they really incompetent? No, they are still there, all the people at the top are billionaires while the rest of the country goes hungry, the so called leader's families are all around the globe, the kids studying in the best universities, those who are done with their school living in mansions. Just take a visit to Weston, Florida and see the mansions, the ranches that are all owned by these Venezuelan criminal families...can we call that incompetent? I don't think so, criminal? Yes.
