Incompetence May Be Trump's Biggest Problem

April 26, 2018 at 8:55 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

First Read: “Yes, it’s chaos and controversy, which we’ve constantly chronicled here. But it’s also a matter of competency. According to this month’s NBC/WSJ poll, a majority of Americans – 56% – said that Trump’s administration isn’t competent, including 39% who said it isn’t competent at all. By contrast, 43% said it was competent, including 16% who said ‘very competent.'”

“To put those numbers into perspective, 50% of American said Barack Obama’s administration was competent in June 2014 (so after the Obamacare website crash during his second term), and 53% said George W. Bush’s administration was competent in March 2006 (after Hurricane Katrina).”

“So for all the potential dangers to Trump’s presidency – the Russia investigation, historically low approval ratings, Democrats possibly winning the House (and Senate) in November – the biggest could very well be the competency question… That’s a big problem.”

said and did the things Trump does you would push to get him an intervention. The man needs psychiatric help.

If the CEO of your company behaved even once on national TV the way that Trump does on a daily basis, it would not even be 24 hours before the Board of Directors held an emergency meeting and fired his ass. He wouldn't even be given the opportunity to resign. Security would throw him out on the street, and he might get his personal belongings mailed to him six weeks later.

I always get dead silence when I say that, because they know I'm absolutely right.

and I read "Incontinence" was a big problem.

On my third try I finally saw that the word was "Incompetence".

It could be that it's actually: (C) All of the above.

No joke. That might be his biggest problem. He tells terrible lies that are easy to disprove and does not keep his story consistent.

That is the main reason his legal team is trying like mad to keep him out from under oath.

Imagine what Trump could be accomplishing if he WERE competent? Thankfully, we have a "Trump" and NOT a "Putin".
