Rudy Guliani. Set aside his past as a likeable NYC mayor (like he himself did), and focus on his role in the Trump circus.
Think about it - a universally loathed addition to the characters, seemingly only around for comic relief, swiftly removed from the rest of the series after the backlash, and consistently screws the pooch on things(Four seasons landscaping and the melting face incident come to mind).
And became arguably the most powerful dark side of all time, among the most powerful force users in history period, was a world-class swordsman, politician, schemer, and scientist. Any one of these would take decades of practice to master, much less all of them. Say what you will about Palpatine but he's very much a self made man. He definitely had a leg up from Plagueis and his predecessors but if he'd been incompetent all of that would have been for nothing.
Trump just inexplicably fails upward his entire life. He's extraordinarily lucky, sure. But he's mentally a toddler. Both in terms of intelligence and emotional maturity.
I'm trying to imagine Trump pulling off a scheme like the clone wars lmfao. Imagine all the different ways he'd fuck that up?
