It has been put forth in some circles and in movies and entertainment that one can gain access to all sorts of classified or restricted areas with a confident walk and a clipboard but no real knowledge or experience. Trump's entire life is built on him saying he is "the best, maybe ever (in the world, of all time, etc.)" and having absolutely ZERO actual knowledge about it at all.

Why anyone takes anything he says seriously is befuddling to me and I will die never understanding it.
