Title: Trumps chaotic tenure described as kakistocracy...

“government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.”

Its kakistrophic.

With festering chaos and nepotism evident, Trump's administration is demonstrating Trump's incompetence and the incompetence of his administration.

Its a chaotic kakistocracy.

Quote:
Seven days may not be enough time to fully assess any new leader, especially in the case of Trump, whose first week was marked by seeming chaos in his efforts to put together an Administration. But what we’ve learned so far about the least-experienced President-elect in history is as troubling and ominous as his critics have feared. The Greeks have a word for the emerging Trump Administration: kakistocracy. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as a “government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.” Webster’s is simpler: “government by the worst people.”
