The Rich Boy Tyrant and the Great Git Consensus

THE COMPETENCE ILLUSION

The myth goes: he’s “good at stuff.” A winner. A dealmaker.

The pattern goes:
– Inherited wealth.
– Serial bankruptcies that land on everyone else.
– Sham enterprises dressed as opportunity.
– Carefully edited appearances making confusion look like decisiveness.

That’s not competence. It’s branding.

He doesn’t understand institutions, only loyalty. He doesn’t do strategy, only spectacle. Every limit feels like that early slap from his father, so of course he treats courts, journalists, and elections as personal attacks, not structural checks.

And yet, large numbers of people insist he’s a genius. Not based on proof, but on need: they want their chosen bully to know what he’s doing.
