I do very specialized work that I'm pretty good at doing.

Every now and then, I have a client who thinks that being good at one thing means I can handle everything from divorce to criminal defense.

We know Trump is a walking example of Dunning Kruger.

One of the things that follows from not being able to recognize one'a own incompetence, is that one cannot recognize what actual expertise in others looks like. He thinks that guy is a really good lawyer, so it means he's a really good lawyer.
