It’s Time to Start Questioning Trump’s Judgment

Choices like choosing J.D. Vance are finally revealing that his decisions are impulsive and dangerous

We all know that Trump is not known for thinking things through logically. It’s all impulse and gut and neither have proven to be good. He ‘likes’ murderous dictators who are our declared enemies. He gets pitched things like selling bibles and golden sneakers and goes for it. He says things like if I get elected you’ll never have to vote again.

I seriously doubt that any of his advisors thought any of these things was a good idea, because they are terrible ideas. And in case you think they are just harmless Trump stuff, think again. We cannot have a President who shoots from the hip all the time and either misses or screws up, all the time.

That’s fine when you’re just a publicity grubbing rich guy, but when you’re President people can die or be ruined, hard work can be undone in a moment, and our country’s reputation trashed in seconds.

This is not a minor problem, it is one of the problems, one of many, but for me this stands out. The recent example of choosing Vance against the advice of everyone around him is a prime one. We have to question whether they thoroughly vetted him or Trump simply ignored what they found, because Vance’s negatives were all out there in very public places.

His open hate of women’s rights of all kinds, including the right to not have children and choose a career. The man is a troglodyte and women recognize the type. And they don’t have to be Democrats to not like it. Vance was part of the plan to solidify MAGA and go after Joe Biden. Now he is a boat anchor weighing down the campaign.

And he is just one example. We choose leaders specifically because of their judgment, because we trust them to weigh the information and make the best decisions for our country. At least that is the theory.

There’s a bigger picture here. I wonder if the MAGA people who blame everyone and everything else for the troubles in their lives ever consider that it might be their own bad judgment? It’s super easy to pass the blame for things you screwed up onto other people and vague conspiracies.
