Oh, it’s way more than incompetence. Even Lincoln wasn’t all that competent as president when he started. But he wasn’t a determinedly ignorant, racist, arrogant, narcissist bully, lacking in intelligence, learning ability, and empathy, either!

alwaysright: No, he sends the pallets of cash directly to himself, his cronies, and his sleazy family. And what really happened with the “Iran Cash” thing has been explained to you so many times that I’m beginning to think you’re a slow learner.
“Talk to Chuck and Nancy.” Well, Disaster Pumpkin did just that about a month ago. Here’s what he said at the time: “I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck. … I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.”

Well, Bonespurs is a master manipulator of the press (seeking ratings), and morons willing to follow this DSM ailment list on two feet. Mussolini was also as good, and much more like Bonespurs than the much maligned Adolph. Benito and his girlfriend ended up hanging upside down in the town square.. .
Excellent cartoon today and certainly has fired up a lot of comments. Good job. Glad to see people expressing their opinions and frustrations. These past two years have been quite a learning experience for this 79 year old woman.

I seem to recall that you, Steve Benson, were all in favor of Mr. Incompetence. Where is your mea culpa?

Trump didn’t want to give the speech tonight and told TV anchors at lunch today that his planned trip to the border is a waste of time.
