Why Trump built a staff of incompetent sycophants | Robert Reich https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/25/trump-staff-incompetent-sycophants?CMP=share_btn_url
How to explain the rise of so many incompetent and unprincipled people?
Easy. They could never succeed on their own merits. As soon as their incompetence became apparent – which was likely to be as soon as they took the first job that required some degree of intelligence and integrity – they were fired.
So they learned that to be rewarded with promotions, money and power, they cannot rely on the normal processes and systems of recognition for jobs well done. If they’re to make anything of themselves, they must instead become ass-lickers, lap dogs and sycophants.
They must latch on to someone who values loyalty above integrity or competence, someone for whom fawning obsequiousness is the most important criterion for being hired and promoted, ideally someone who cannot tell the difference between a groveling toady and a knowledgeable adviser.
Enter Trump.
My readers, this is a must-read. It’s a damned reasonable and reasoned exploration of what’s going on. Never forget the democrats caused it by not having decent candidates and doing worthless shit science for worthless votes. That said, they are truly incompetent. What makes them look competent? They are always using show of force and loud actions. That’s the way Trump is. He’s always loud. Loud actions are not necessarily smart actoons. But they are obvious and superfluous. Alack of DEI and choosing vanities—celebrities and beautiful people over competent people is a huge failure for Trump. Two huge failures. Yet my readers, how could I support the Democrat when it’s being said that the FBI infringed upon my civil rights, labor and liberty. And not a single one of them did a thing. If you do nothing, you might as well be the imbecilic worthless lowlife criminals. Might as well be that. Facts are facts my readers, and you can trust me to support our expose it. Help me fight for justice. Support the free books for life cause and music by rill and I want your receipts. I may put 2939 on the receipt list as well. I cannot wait to be your musician, your comedian and your author. Thank you.
I will debut longer form personal, experiential, and spiritual essays next year. I want to continue to do meaningful work. Help me conquer those who steal life, labor and liberty. Thank you.
When I realized comedy can be described as the things I say and do as well as the things I don’t say and do, I knew it was for me. I was seeing and hearing all kinds of shit that couldn’t be happening in the dreams and the nightmare we call society. I believe they call that crazy. You don’t need any proof. Someone just has to appear to have more potential at succeeding than you and you can make shit up about them. Better than that, you can plot to make them what you say they are. There’s always a ridicule am yet to encounter and the punches just keep coming. It is no miracle I survived. I am now more than qualified to tell comedically twisted true tales as a part of the jazz music festival, half time music. half time comedy. it is hilarious. In fact it is now a comedic-jazz music festival. Your receipts for music by ril and the free books for life cause mean the world to me. Help achieve justice.
