In the case of Trump, never attribute to ineptitude what can be explained by greed.

He is tanking the US economy so he and his billionaire cohort can buy things (businesses, real estate, stocks, etc) at a low price. Thus amassing more control and capital.

This is how the Russian oligarchy came into power.

Trump's businesses have repeatedly declared bankruptcy. Don't rule out ineptitude.

He bankrupted a casino. I’m not sure how you even manage to do that.

He bankrupted casinos 6 times. Six. Managed to lose money on a money printing machine.

Yes, he is inept. But in this case, he is following a playbook that was deliberately written to achieve the ends that this series of actions is bringing about.
