Appalling ineptitude

From The Washington Post:

Even though the Trump administration has halted its policy of separating illegal border crossers from their children, many of the over 2,300 youths removed from migrant parents since May 5 remain in shelters and foster homes across the country. The U.S. government has done little to help with the reunifications, attorneys say, prompting them to launch a frantic, improvised effort to find the children — some of them toddlers.

One legal aid organization, the Texas Civil Rights Project, is representing more than 300 parents and has been able to track down only two children.

“Either the government wasn’t thinking at all about how they were going to put these families back together, or they decided they just didn’t care,” said Natalia Cornelio, with the organization.

Trump is a showman. He has no executive skill. He can't lead folks unless they kiss his ass, he can't run a government, he can't deal with details, he can only strut and pontificate his fantasy reality. Just incredible. More incredible, so many buy into his con job.

A play of mine has the curtain line, "What the people expect, they get. What they get, they deserve. Always." Not quite as good as what Mencken said in 1920 but maybe close.
