They need more time.
Years ago we discussed the Slobfather’s administration as a kakistocracy.
Sadly the entire ReTHUG party now fits that form of government.

government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.
"the danger is that this will reduce us to kakistocracy"
a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens.
plural noun: kakistocracies
"the modern regime is at once a plutocracy and a kakistocracy"

Kleptocracy plus theocracy = kakistocracy.

He is looking very well. When he is on, I just stop and listen to him. I have so much respect for him.
