It is easy for a normal person to spot an incompetent person, but the incompetent can't do the same. The incompetent can't even reliably recognize normality:
Donald Trump Makes A Cost Estimate That Reflects The 'Fairy Tale World' He Lives In

No. It is judgement.

USAID Website Goes Dark As Trump Reportedly Plans To Shift Agency Under State Department
Yanno... When I'm being a dick to the dummies I might bloviate otherwise from time to time, but I'm a fuckin' dummy. I can't be expected anymore than any other American to keep in my head what the meaning of every Alphabet Agency the Government cooks up is supposed to mean.
They know that. That's why they always choose acronyms that mean whatever they want you to think about an agency, rather than what that agency does.
Since both the short-term and long-term future of healthcare is on everybody's mind right now, and I'm sure that a lot of people are thinking about words like Medicare and Medicaid, and in California and the SouthEast Coast they're all probably still thinking about Emergency Aid, and what will come of that.
So we have ourselves an agency that just went dark in these scary times, and the name of that very agency is USAID.
Oh Fuck. Not now. Any time but now! You're going to shut down US aid NOW!!??????
........
....
...
Wait a minute. Let's not lose our minds here and see what this is all about.
Hey Siri. What department does USAID stand for?
"The USAID is short for the U.S. Agency for International Development."
Thank you Siri. I feel much better now. I love you, and I for one can't wait to welcome our new robot overlords.

USAID announces nearly all direct hires will be placed on administrative leave
The agency said all direct hires, “with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions,” would be placed on administrative leave.
Quote:
The U.S. Agency for International Development announced Tuesday night that almost all direct hires around the world will be placed on administrative leave this week.
The move was announced on the organization’s website after days of attacks by the Trump administration, including President Donald Trump himself.
The announcement says that beginning at 11:59 p.m. Friday, “all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs.”
Those expected to keep working will be notified by 3 p.m. Thursday, the announcement said, adding that the government is working on a plan to return workers who are not in the country back to the United States if contracts are “not determined to be essential.”
It ends with: “Thank you for your service.”
So far, this has been the greatest Presidency of my lifetime.

Pam Bondi is now the USAG.
Looks like besides Gaetz, every single one of Trump's picks have gone through so far.

Take a look at this fake-ass USA Today article. They don't even wait for the 2nd sentence to destroy their own headline. All they care about is that low-IQ Democrat voters read the headline...
Mexico and Canada outsmarted Trump in his trade war. He still thinks he won. | Opinion by Elvia Diaz
Mexico and Canada have outsmarted Trump by bolstering border security with measures already underway or that can easily be carried out.

It’s not clear whether Mexico and Canada played President Donald Trump in his tariffs war, but it sure seems so – at least, temporarily.
Go. Fuck. Yourself. Elvia.

"The tariffs are going to make us very rich and very strong," Trump said Friday. "They don't cause inflation. They cause success." They are "going to make us rich," he said in December. "In the 1890s, our country was probably the wealthiest it ever was because it was a system of tariffs," he said last year.
Why would Trump forgo all those billions of dollars that could be collected off Mexican imports simply because Mexico's president said she would make a few border guards work overtime? We were going to offset the income tax with tariffs, Trump promised. But now? Nah, so we'll just forget about that idea.

'Moving the goalposts of crazy': Trump adviser astonished by president's message
By Travis Gettys | February 5, 2025 8:41AM ET

One longtime adviser suspects he might be enacting his "madman theory" of diplomacy.
"He's moving the goalposts of crazy," the adviser told Axios. "This time around, he's not intimidated by headlines or pundits: He's gonna throw out there whatever he feels like throwing out there."
It's like threats of trade tariffs against Canada and Mexico — all-consumingly controversial, yet instantly ephemeral.

Who said he's forgoing tariffs?
He just put the leadership of Mexico and Canada on notice, and they both folded like lawn chairs in record time.
This isn't over. I've already told you this isn't over. The piddly little offer they made to get their 30 day stay on tariffs is only the beginning. And the fact that both of them came running to Trump to kneel and kiss the ring means that they have a hell of a lot more they'd be willing to offer.
You are a short-sighted idiot, and nobody believes you have any idea how to run a company, let alone own one.

NOBODY gives a fuck about your headlines or your pundits anymore. They are trusted less by the American people than the Politicians are at this point.
Any good will you used to have is now gone. You did this to yourselves.

Elon Musk controls the check-writing of the US government. An unelected, very powerful, very wealthy person is exerting great control over the government.
