The distinction between ambition and capability is stark. Consider the gap between aspiring to be a professional athlete and actually possessing the requisite skills. The former is merely a desire; the latter requires innate talent.

However, sometimes the longing to achieve something can lead to perilous outcomes.
As we approach 2025, it’s worth noting that the United States has never had a president who openly aspired to dictatorship. Donald Trump’s desire for such power is palpable, yet there exists a significant hurdle: his glaring incompetence.
Rachel Maddow recently offered a prescient analysis of what will undoubtedly be an avalanche of retrospectives on Trump’s initial 100 days in office:
“The first hundred days have taught us a clear lesson. We know he’s aiming for a dictatorship—no elections, no judiciary, rule through fear. We also know that the American populace is resistant to this. But what we’ve really seen in these first 90 days is his consistent failure.”
“It’s one thing to recognize the seriousness of his intentions; it’s equally crucial to acknowledge that he’s quite poor at executing them. I can’t speak to his competence in positive endeavors, as they seem scarce, but in terms of his nefarious goals, he’s been spectacularly inept.”
“While it hasn’t been laugh-out-loud funny, it’s certainly been a tragicomedy of blunders.”
Maddow subsequently detailed various missteps made by the Trump administration, underscoring the need for damage control following these blunders.
