Is Trump Incompetent?

Trump’s lack of interest in learning about the workings of the world around him does, in fact, render him incompetent.  He has essentially zero knowledge of the geopolitics that are required for his job, and that’s just fine with him.

Yet that’s not the true problem with the current U.S. president.  Rather, it’s that the only things that matter to him are those that serve to make him wealthier and more powerful. What that translates to at this point is an ongoing set of ridiculous decisions that damage the lives of the common American, and destroy the nation’s standing on the world stage.
