I mean he certainly is incompetent but the idea that you could actually achieve anywhere near the results he is claiming with a bunch of racist teenagers in a month is absolutely insane.
It would be nice if we actually had the government audited to find waste and fraud. But it would take probably near a billion dollars and at least a years time and large dedicated team from a respected public accounting firm. Or even simpler, you could just increase GAO's funding and actually read their goddamn reports.
It's so sad that our nation is so clearly being hoodwinked and who knows the long-term damage it will cause as he just destroys any semblance of functional government with his reckless acts. What we are witnessing is pretty much the definition of fraud.
Some are racist 20-somethings
Tomato, potato.
