That’s very much the typical modern mainstream politician in Western Democracies.
I would say that somebody with at least a modicum of capability outside Presentation and Talkie-talkie, such as Merkel, has been more the exception than the rule in the last 2 decades at least.
Whilst the era of such politicians might seem to be coming to an end, IMHO what we’re seing is just a style change of the Presentation + Talkie-talkie specialists from slick technocrat to loudmouth raging populist - seemingly different posture and discourse but their actual expertise is still in exactly the same domain and their ineptitude outside that is just as bad, maybe even a bit worse.
