A funny thing is that when you work with complex organizations, especially in leadership, whether politics, the military, law, engineering projects (e.g., Apollo,. a bridge), and a whole bunch of other stuff, you have to be truthful and trustworthy and basically accurate, because your actions or commands are part of an interdependent chain of actions or commands, AND EVERYONE HAS TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE. Statements, to say nothing of commands, have significant consequences for the endeavor being undertaken.
However, because Trump is a conman who inherited his wealth, his only efforts to actually run something larger than a McDonald’s have gone bankrupt. He hates reality. He really doesn’t understand that you cannot govern or enact policy that’s basically BS. All you can do is hire toadies who won’t push back and hope they can somehow implement, or make it appear they are implementing, your BS and inconsistent and/or illegal dictates.
I mean there are many other paths beside being a competent leader, things like failure, massacres, mass starvation, losses at war, etc. Trump’s strategy in part is just to say a lot of BS and pretend and not do most the things he says unless (ideally) other people give him permission.
This is not very well stated, as I’ve been up all night and just filed a Complaint (i.e., lawsuit), but I think complex systems simply aren’t designed to handle people like Trump, because systems have to operate on the constant communication of information that reflects reality in order to function properly. (Otherwise you get thigns like the Iraq war and global warming).
