9. In a way, Cheeto refutes the Peter Principle

Remember the Peter Principle? "Every person rises to their level of incompetence." In organizational behavior a manager keeps getting promoted as long as he's effective; once he stops being effective he gets no more promotions and stays at that level. (Of course I'm referring to women as well as men.)

But Trump never had to prove himself to anyone. He's repeatedly failed and mismanaged almost everything he's ever done. His only "successes" were due to the efforts of other people, mostly toadies who allowed Trump to take credit for their work. So now this completely failed fuckup has risen to the highest organizational position in our country, and he has power over all our laws and government. It's frightening for those of us who care, and we must resist this take-over disaster. There will never be any boss to tell Cheeto, "You fucked up, you're fired!"

So WE THE PEOPLE have to be the ones to do it.
