    What could possibly go wrong when you give the most important job in the world to the most unqualified person ever?

      We need to dispense with this notion that Trump is “unqualified.” He is very qualified for the job that he actually set out to do, and has been accomplishing it expertly.

      It’s just a different job than the one you think it’s supposed to be.

        Trump is overqualified to take us right into bankruptcy. He’s been here so many times! Don’t worry! Just ask for money from stupid people that have money!

          Unironically, yes. You wanna know why Trump’s businesses kept going bankrupt? Because they were never meant to be sustainable in the first place. They were scams – probably fronts for Russian money laundering – and designed to have all the money extracted and then implode on purpose before law enforcement could start looking too closely.

          And now he’s doing the same thing with the entire goddamn country.

      I bet we could find someone less qualified.

      It just would be difficult to find one outside of a hospital or care home.
