Looking at the USA, one cannot get away with the idea that the easiest job in the world is to be a politician, to run a country. And the bigger the country, the easier will be the job.
The Americans can elect anyone, crooks, cooks, conmen, criminals, D graders, cheats, bankrupts, drunkards, paedophiles, drag queens, jokers, liars, whatever, you name it, never mind. Just give the twit a big title, like president, secretary of war, finance, trade...he will perform and perform very well. What experience and training are needed? None, no need any experience, no need any training, no need any qualification. Bankrupt and conmen are highly desirable. A gangster background or morally depraved are highly sought after.
No one is worrying about the American economy tumbling into the sewers. In fact, the Americans are putting all their hopes of making America great again so that they can have the good life, without working, by letting these hooligans, numbskulls and idiots to run America and rule the world.
You can bet, Trump and his Washington clowns are doing extremely well. Well, no one is protesting or asking for their removal. No one is complaining that the American economy is hurting, is collapsing, facing a lot of internal troubles and breaking down. Oops, everything is fine. The Americans are very happy, the Congressmen and Senators are very happy with what is happening to America.
And the clowns can start wars all over the world, against everyone, all kinds of wars, and still looking good and great. And they did not have to think about what they are going to do tomorrow. Just follow their dreams, yes, just follow their dreams. Every morning when they wake up, recall what they dreamt of and put them into policies and presidential orders. So easy. And no inflation, stock market record high, no unemployment, the dollar is so strong. Can print more dollars.
Why needs talented and highly qualified individuals to run a country when the clowns in Washington are doing so well and making America great again?
The countries that are doing badly are those in the Global South with China and Russia topping the list despite having very highly qualified technocrats to run the country. Some China experts are saying China will collapse in 10 years. China is facing a lot of domestic problems, and its economy is collapsing, only 5% growth, Chinese population is growing old and will disappear soon. The American economy is rock solid, 1% growth, no joblessness, no unemployment. China is in real trouble. America is doing so great, with Trump and his clowns in charge.
The moral of the story, running a country is so easy that clowns can outperform serious highly qualified professionals and technocrats. The Americans can even elect donkeys and elephants and their economy will do just as well. Ignorance is bliss! See how happy and contented the hillbillies and rednecks are!
