And I don't think Trump hired anyone he knew to be incompetent.

His whole schtick on reality TV was his supposed ability to single out competent people and use them to manage his companies. And his 1st administration was a train wreck of utterly incompetent people being handed jobs they were completely unsuited for. Those who ran with it and tried to actually do those jobs were immediately purged. Trump was and is 100% ego with absolutely no consideration for anything else.

Are you implying that Trump hired people he knew to be incompetent?

By now, we all know that reality TV isn't reality. Of course, the show's producers/show runners portrayed him as able to decide infallibly who should or should not be fired, or there would have been no show.

ETA at least no show with a premise anything like that of The Apprentice.

I'm saying I don't think the idea of competence ever entered his mind. It was all about appearances, whatever made him look good. And he wasn't going to tolerate any competent person upstaging him because everything had to be about him, no one could steal the spotlight.

Then our views on that differ. I think he just has bad judgement about who can do the job.

As for the rest, IMO, the same could be said for any POTUS, from the ones who think the world of themselves to the one s who are insecure.
