"Americans already understood Trump to be corrupt, and proved themselves willing to tolerate that," Peter Wehner and Robert P. Beschel Jr. argue. "But now they are coming to believe that he is inept. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin":
What astounds me is that anyone would in anyway think Trump would be effective in his 2nd term after he had already proven himself inept in his first (doesn't anyone remember COVID?)
Wake up USA! Wake up American people!
wait, I thought that grooming kids and pedophilia was THE one flaw/sin that republicans could not tolerate...
but I'm not sure this works any more: we watched the Congress approve a whole Cabinet full of folk who are profoundly unqualified to do their jobs, and then trump gave some of them TWO jobs instead of just the one; so the whole admin & GOP is like a big cosplay... I HOPE it's still 'unforgivable'
“They” are not coming around. Just like every accusation a repuglican makes is projection, so too is this constant wish casting. His base believes he can do no wrong. Even when they don’t like his policies or their inevitable outcomes, they don’t hold him accountable.
It was well known that Trump had failed at dozens of businesses, besides being a cheating braggart. The GOP didn’t care about any of that when they got behind him. We need to understand the whole problem deeply and fix it so it doesn’t happen again. Just as Germany did after Hitler.
Media continues to normalize him in every form. If you know he’s corrupt and immoral, maybe you should start focusing on that and REPORT that.
Volumes about the moral rot in this country. Corruption? Ok. Brazen lawlessness? Ok. Muddled racism? Ok. Dehumanization of migrants? Ok. Tolerance/appeasement of world dictators? Ok. But inept? Not attending to ME, my needs? Outrageous! Sad that it comes to this. Not just about *ME*, about +us+.
But didn't he play someone really un-inept on TV?
'they are coming to believe'... A day late and a dollar short.
HALF of Americans were willing to tolerate it... Now they are joining the other half in believing he is also inept.
How could people not see that trump was always inept. He has dead eyes; absolutely nothing behind them.
Ffs, that has been obvious for nearly ten years. What actually is wrong with the cognitive abilities of a huge swathe of American voters? This is borderline insane atm. That felon is a buffoon.
A lot of people apparently think acting like a petty bully means you're competent and strong. 😮💨
A lot of people have zero knowledge or refuse to believe what a degenerate trump has always been. Why do some Americans equate flashy git billionare as success without taking into account his zero integrity, decency or honesty? He is the ultimate failure grifting and lying as he breathes
I think it has something to do with Americans that worship wealthy people in business, even if their wealth is largely inherited.
Flagpoles? Paved-over Rose gardens? Ballrooms? A gold plated oval office? He's not a leader, he's an interior decorator. And not even a good one.

Coming to believe? Seriously? How long does it take to know this?
Came here to say the same thing. If the idiots who wrote this are “just coming to believe” they need to own that themselves. Don’t project that shit onto the Americans who voted against him! 3 times!
He’s a grifter. It’s the Dark Money behind him that is inept. Government cannot run as a business. theplotagainstamerica.com www.thenerdreich.com
It is baffling how so many detest him but there is a large shocking swath that is ok with all the evil that is him. He can do no wrong, that means his followers have those values too. Way too many Americans for my liking. 😵😵😵
What does @nytpitchbot.bsky.social have to say about it?
Incompetent, demented, evil, mentally ill, immoral...
Just one flaw we can't tolerate???
Right? How ironic!
took them long enough to notice he's inept
“Coming to believe…”
It was obvious that he’s dumb from the start!! He’s always been inept! wtf?
Sitting here in Europe enjoying a 3-egg omelette while marvelling at the land of opportunities that is the USA: It's true, ANYONE can become president
...unless you're a woman
But being a paedophile is not an issue apparently.
He literally got about a half million* Americans needlessly killed from Covid-19 by encouraging conspiracy theories and discouraging the science, but that's not enough for a lot of people to realize he's incompetent years later. *About the estimated number of avoidable deaths
Many Americans seem to think being a petty bully is strength. We're really messed up.
idiot and stupid this orange guy
I was not okay with a corrupt president . Our President needs to have morals, decency, character Empathy and intelligence and integrity/ Trump has none of those attributes
"But now they are coming to believe that he is inept. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin"? Just wait for US people to prove you wrong! Don’t underestimate US people’s tolerance of Trump! He’s no Biden!
I’m sorry fellow americans, but boy did you fuck it this time around. Also fucked the rest of us in the process 🤦🏻♂️
Gee, we had no idea
Now you do 👍🏻
Thank you for providing a glimmer of hope. It is the one thing I needed to read today.
