His tenure has been a catalog of unforced errors. What other president would insist on shutting down part of the federal government because Congress refused to fund something that he said Mexico would pay for?
What other president would appoint a Federal Reserve chairman and, a year later, roil markets by talking privately about firing him? What other president would visit troops in Iraq and claim to have conferred their first pay raise in a decade, one amounting to 10 percent – neither of which is true?
Only Trump could botch a Christmas Eve phone conversation with a 7-year-old by casting doubt on the existence of Santa Claus. Or use the White House Easter Egg Roll to tell children about the vast sums he’s spending on the military. Or address a Boy Scout jamboree in such a boorish way that the organization apologized for his words.
Each day is a chance for Trump to expose his incompetence at every element of his job. Each day, he seizes the opportunity.
