It's Trump's Incompetence, Stupid
snip
It’s obvious if you look at it. He doesn’t plan shit. He sees something and he reacts to it, not unlike a toddler with a binky. It really is that simple. Of course, he would like to be a dictator, but only because he would more easily get away with being an impulsive jack off.
What is most frightening about Donald Trump is his rank incompetence. He has no concept of what his job entails. After two years, he still thinks of himself as CEO of America. That means, based on his limited view of what a CEO actually does, he is the “Boss of America.” He has no concept that he is a public servant. He has no idea he is just a “manager,” an employee who works for us. He thinks the rest of the government works for him.
He only knows how to be a boss; he has no ability to be competent as a public servant. However, it’s more than that, really. Donny is practically illiterate, and he probably has dyslexia. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, except when you combine it with being 72 years old, being completely incurious and being too narcissistic to ask anyone for help. Say what you will about George W. Bush, and there is a lot to say, but he did understand he was kind of dumb, so he tried to surround himself with people smarter than him. He didn’t always succeed, and he was a moron and a jackass, but compare his Cabinet with Trump’s. Whereas both filled their administrations with cronies, Bush actually deferred too many of them. Trump’s narcissism is at such a high level that he almost literally cannot be in a room where he doesn’t know he’s the smartest, and he is almost always wrong. Donny lies to us constantly, but he doesn’t only lie to us; he also lies to himself. And a case can be made that it’s those lies that are the most dangerous.
Trump is incompetent when it comes to politics because of the lies he tells himself. I am convinced he truly believes he won the 2016 election. He also believes he will win again, if only he does exactly the same things he did in 2016. That’s why he is so anxious to listen to his base, which is easily the stupidest demographic in the company. He has always listened to and parroted them. If you’ll recall, during the 2016 election, it was revealed that his issue positions came from the CALLERS to right-wing talk radio. Not the hosts, which would be bad enough, but the callers. These are mental toddlers who are stupid enough to believe everything Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, et al, say. He continues to do this, which is one reason his Twitter feed is so inane. After two years, he still does not understand trade; when he talks about it, he sounds much like your dumbass uncle or cousin, who gets all their “news’ from Rush and Fox News, and who sounds like a complete idiot when they speak.

This is his base that helped him shape his policies for the United States of America. You can't get any baser than this.

Just to be clear. This is his base. He listened to them to shape his agenda.

Russia builds 37-mile wall around annexed Crimea territory
How do you say “build the wall” in Russian?
Russia has built a 37-mile fence between Ukraine and Crimea, the territory that Russia annexed in 2014, according to Russian media.
The move was necessary “to protect the local population from the crazy antics of the current Ukrainian government,” claimed a spokesman for the de facto Crimean parliament.
Ukrainian authorities are calling the move “mere propaganda.”
More than 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict between Moscow-backed separatists and Ukraine since it touched off in 2014, according to the United Nations.
The European Union has condemned the annexation as a violation of international law.

Obviously they love Russia more than America,
May the Goddess grant them their fondest wish.
