In reply to the discussion: As job market slumps, Trump administration says it could take a year to see better economic data [View all]bmichaelh
(942 posts)24. So much incompetence
This is a pattern of behavior with Trump.
How many banks did he tell that phrase "better in a year" before he went bankrupt.
Once an idea gets into his head, no amount of data or reasoning will change it.
For example, in the 1980s, he and other USFL owners thought they could force a merger between USFL and NFL by moving their schedule to the fall.
It did not work like he said back then either.
Unfortunately, many people, some who did not vote for him will suffer.
What is supposed to happen in a year:?
Many things could change in a year.
We could have a healthcare crisis in a year due to RFK Jr's incompetence.
Has there ever been an administration showing so much incompetence in multiple departments.

Thank you for clarification. Suggestion for improvement delivered evenly without rancour is not rudeness.
