It's not really surprising, he doesn't seem qualified or competent enough to manage a team that could perform efficiency analysis and implementation on something like the US Military Industrial Complex, let alone direct the whole thing. I mean he's been proven (twice) to not be qualified or competent enough to run a veteran support service. It must be terrifying being parachuted into something so far beyond your capabilities like this.

It would be terrifying, but I'm sure a combination of egotism and liquid courage will make it seem easy.
