Because he doesn't understand anything [View all]

Last edited Sun Aug 17, 2025, 12:45 PM - Edit history (1)

He doesn't understand Economics, so he thinks if he does stuff, things will happen because he wants them to. He doesn't understand Government, so he has no idea what impacts his actions will have, and doesn't care. And his knowledge of science could fit on a postage stamp.
And he has no understanding of World politics or foreign policy. He sees Obama or Biden having meetings at Camp David and coming out with Accords. But he doesn't read briefings and has no concept of what is really happening and what needs to be done. He thinks a meeting or a call with a foreign leader is all it takes, like calling a bank chief to get a loan. It's all performative, if he does the dance, he gets what he wants.
He doesn't care about Peace, he just wants a Nobel Prize. So if he makes a big show, he gets the marble.

Really the most ignorant, unqualified man to sit in the Office.
