The incompetence continues

[PJMcK]

Donald Trump keeps telling everyone how brilliant and great he is. And yet, each day of his presidency has been a chaotic mess. The sloppiness of his administration is unlike anything in our nation's history.

Mr. Trump and his advisors have no idea how to behave in government and their international skills are lacking. We saw this with Mexico and its president and now we see it with England and its Prime Minister.

The “special relationship” between President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May has gotten off to an awkward start.

In a White House memo detailing the duo’s Oval Office meeting and joint press conference on Friday, staffers from the Office of the Press Secretary repeatedly spelled her name wrong. Instead of writing “Theresa” with an “h,” they wrote “Teresa.” In doing so, they confused May with the former British adult actress and model Teresa May of (almost) the same name.

Seriously, this is sloppy and stupid.

1. Sad, isn't it.

I'm still waiting for him to address Rust Belt jobs. Has he said one word yet about how he's going to bring those back?

Does he have a plan?

And does anybody know what the tRump Doctrine is?

Again no plan. Just blatant incompetence.

2. Worse, he called her by her first name

Which is not protocol.

[brush]

3. May also added to the humiliation he suffered this week, the Mexican president was first, by...

stating in Washington DC, no less, that she unequivocably was not in favor of lifting sanctions on Russia vis-a-vis Ukraine.

4. Not only are they incompetent and totally ignorant of protocol, but

they also defiantly, arrogantly refuse to consult with State Department experts who could give them guidance to avoid creating awkward or even disastrous international incidents.

[lunatica]

5. Top positions in the State Department all resigned

Who's going to give them guidance now? The Administrative Assistants? The janitors?

They're functioning on sticking their chewing gum on the issues to make them work. Crossing their fingers and holding their breath in the hopes that will fix everything.

[tblue37]

7. They refused guidance from State anyway and preferred

to just fly by the seat of their pants from the start.

[PJMcK]

9. Donald Trump doesn't care

In his mind, I suspect, he believes that Prime Minister May was privileged to be in The Donald's presence. For him, protocol is what he says it is.

He's an idiot.

6. Trump is a buffoon and an embarrassment

I just cannot BELIEVE this shit - WTF!

[PJMcK]

8. You've barely scratched the surface

Each time I see a news photo of President Trump, I think, "How could anyone look at that man and trust him with their vote?"

Seriously, Donald Trump has polluted our culture for more than thirty years with his braggadocio and business failures yet 60+ million people thought he was better for our country than Hillary Clinton... or nearly anyone else, for that matter.

10. Because he speaks his mind

i.e. he says all the racist sexist stuff they always say.

[PJMcK]

13. Some mind

This election has shone a bright light on the disgusting underside of American culture. It has exposed all of the negative qualities that are embodied by Donald Trump.

It saddens and amazes me that we live among such ignorant, uneducated and heartless people.

11. well if Teresa May is an adult actress and model...

I expect trumpie to be all over that....

[PJMcK]

12. Hah!

Of course, that's why the Trump Administration made the mistake in the first place: they had the actress's name in mind!
