The Cambridge Dictionary definition of incompetence is "not having the ability to do something as it should be done." The most glaring example of Donald Trump's incompetence is his mishandling of the COVID19 crisis instead of springing to action when he was first informed of the pandemic starting in China the way President Obama acted with the EBOLA virus epidemic in West Africa. Obama assembled an international response early to stop it before it significantly affected America. In that way we showed the world the competence of America as well as preventing the virus from significantly reaching our country. Trump tried to sweep COVID under the rug because he thought knowledge of it would hurt him politically. He said it would miraculously disappear. Trump fears knowledge instead of embracing it. As a result of Trump's mishandling of the crisis more than 5 million Americans are known to have been infected with COVID 19 and 169 thousand have died from the disease. Compare that to 2 American nurses who contracted EBOLA during the Obama presidency and neither died. The Covid crisis also contributed to an economic crisis that has put millions of Americans out of work. There are many other examples of Trump's incompetence, but they are too numerous to present here.
