In our efforts to adequately describe Donald Trump’s encyclopedic, characterological, anti-societal, and amoral persona, we may not have adequately commented on his rank incompetency to serve as the Nation’s chief executive or indeed, to be pragmatically entrusted with any judgmental responsibility. Trump resides in his own impenetrable bubble, or dimension, in which discretion is not based upon the personal exercise of logic, experiential wisdom, or the advice of judicial aides. His reasoning seems to be based upon a nuanced and arbitrary perception of what is advantageous for him. Regarding that restricted arena, given his universally glaring ineptitude, he is similarly inept.
The consensus of the post-election media seems to be that the overriding consideration of the voters who elected Trump consisted in their singular (and entirely irrelevant) discontent with “kitchen table” consumer prices, viz., groceries, gasoline, and rent. We will reserve the discussion as to such misguided, sophomoric motivation to a future writing, but mention it as integral to our declaration of the complete and unalloyed ineptitude of the Nation’s orange peripatetic hazmat.
Trump had confidently promised a better consumer economy and the solution to the immigration morass and drug importation morass (notably, Fentanyl)by the imposition of high tariffs on our trading partners. The irrational attribution of the empirically causative relevance of “tariffs” to our slowly improving, post-pandemic inflationary economy, our unavoidable immigration problem, and the importation of illegal substances,” is the predicate for this declaration of the systemic maladroit character and delusional understanding, empirically attributable of Trump, and hence his glaring ineptitude to be the National chief executive
This glaring conceptual inability is empirically compounded by Trump’s ego-centric ignorance concerning the situational irrelevance and real-world detrimental and self-defeating implications of raising tariffs, as the purported route to lowering consumer prices, normalizing immigration, and preventing the importation of controlled substances.
Raising the official rates of prices on imported goods, viz., raising tariffs is not only irrelevant to the issues concerning the Trump voters but, exacerbates their asserted contextual problems. Raising the price of imported goods ineluctably leads to the economic necessity for those importers to raise their prices to businesses and individual consumers. As an irrationally proposed solution to the ubiquitous complaint of higher prices, it has the analogous effect of rubbing kosher salt into a newly acquired flesh wound. The wound’s discomfort is needlessly and painfully exacerbated. Trump, in the exercise of his sophomoric mentality, perceives raising tariffs as a mode of exerting influential pressure on the exporting nation; and is glaringly incapable of contemplating the obvious empirically necessary result viz., the proximate increase of prices of the subject goods to the domestic consumer.
The glaring incompetency of the peripatetic orange hazmat’s deluded panacea of raising tariffs to control the importation of drugs and the normalization of immigration, similarly, has the rational and misconceived relevance of carrying an umbrella to a family picnic to ward off the possibility of disturbing army ants.
A serviceable and empirically accurate algebraic formula dynamically and functionally to calculate the extent of Trump’s suitability to occupy the August and historic position of the American Presidency, may be mathematically derived by the use of the following algebraic formula:[ Despicable persona + glaring incompetence = National disaster]
