If anything, Trump has a demonstrated history of competence. Even right now, he's by far the most competent republican candidate (which of course doesn't mean he'd also be a competent president). Indeed, he's also "hyper-masculine" (your words - I would say hyper-idiotic), but you can't really use him as an example of someone incompetent.
- blahedo 11y agoAre you sure about that? He's declared bankruptcy multiple times (three?), and his net worth is either about the same as, or significantly worse than, if he had invested his wealth in index funds (depending on just when the investment would have happened). That doesn't exactly speak to a great level of competence.
- dllthomas 11y ago"He's declared bankruptcy multiple times (three?)" My understanding has it that he has never filed for personal bankruptcy. Corporations with his name, in which he had a non-negligible ownership stake, filed for bankruptcy. It's never been clear to me how much of a management role he had in the time leading up to those events (not that I have looked tremendously hard).
