* Except politics.

It's verifiable that no politician can possibly be qualified for whatever they're doing at any point in time as there exists no threshold of experience for doing any job to which they might be assigned and it (at least in democracies) actively ignores experience and selects for pandering.

My theory is that any person running for President (US) has to be narcissistic enough to believe that they should be the most powerful person in the world. Any person who believes that they should be the most powerful person in the world is too narcissistic to be the most powerful person in the world, and thereby by the act of running, should be disqualified.
Do you think of president Zelenskiy of Ukraine is an exception?
Why did you choose him in particular? Do you believe him to be the most capable politician today?
Yes. He certainly shines in the spotlight but maybe that's not how we should judge him.
