I see a lot of people getting upset by how Trump is clueless about how the presidency works and that his transition team appears to the cluster fuck of the century.
What did you expect? That the orange fella would suddenly figure out how to actually run things properly?
He’s 70 years old and while he has a few talents none of them have anything to do with being President of the United States. His entire business career has largely been about selling people things that FAIL. He enriches himself along the way and people around him get burned. How many failed businesses does it take for people to realize that he’s crap at it?
Along the way he learned how to sell himself in front of cameras better than anyone. He figures out what his audience wants to hear and says it to them. That’s how he won this thing. Mind you, it’s quite easy to do that if you can just make up a bunch of stuff.
Hunker down for more of this ridiculousness. It’s not going to stop. He’s not going to figure it out. The next four years will set America back decades.
All we can do right now is make sure we do everything we can to minimize the damage (accept that there will be damage).
More importantly, we HAVE to make sure this NEVER happens again. That doesn’t mean we start banning things or shunning his supporters. It means we have to address and solve the problems that got us here. Learn and teach everyone how to respect each other and understand why they’re in the place they are. We have to make the effort to not see this Blue or Red. Both sides have to stop treating this as a zero sum game.
