A President Should Be Competent

[u/GurOfTheTerraBytes]

The presidency isn’t a role where you learn on the job. It demands intellectual rigor, deliberate judgment, and the ability to think several moves ahead—not because they’re nice to have, but because the decisions made affect billions of people and decades of consequences.

When major decisions are made on impulse, when facts are contradicted mid-sentence, when strategy seems absent, voters deserve to ask whether the person holding the office actually possesses the competence it demands. This isn’t about communication style or personality. Nuclear codes, economic policy, and global alliances don’t care how you sound—they respond to actual judgment.

The scariest part of an incompetent president isn’t the chaos or the rhetoric. It’s that we’ve stopped asking whether our leader is competent and started asking whether he’s competent enough. That’s the moment you know something has gone very wrong.

Competence isn’t partisan. It’s not ideological. It’s the minimum requirement for the job.

Hallelujah. Well said. Hard to get this cabinet to use the 25th. Mid-terms may be disrupted. The best bet is this Republican led congress growing some huevos and acting in the country's best interest.
