Trump’s Second Term: Unprecedented Incompetence and Error
The Trump administration’s governance is characterized by a pattern of significant errors, ranging from the erroneous targeting of Harvard University with extreme demands to the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Ábrego García. These mistakes, often attributed to “administrative errors,” are frequently followed by attempts to either conceal them through authoritarian tactics or deflect blame. Examples include the improper termination notices sent to Ukrainian refugees and the incorrect self-deportation email sent to a U.S. citizen. This consistent pattern of blunders, rather than incompetence, suggests a deliberate strategy of using errors to mask or justify controversial policies.
