So either someone is competent but being deceitful to achieve a means or they're being completely incompetent but still deceitful in achieving the same means?

Almost.
It's more, if he is competent, then this isn't severely ineffective and damaging timing, which would make it malice.
if he isn't competent, then how did he get into office versus competent opposition.
The first rule of avoiding easy and misleading conclusions, is never to assume things happen by accident.
What exactly is "competent opposition"?
Anyone running for the same seat, but greenlit by the beltway.
Supposing he's outside the regime or two-party system.
How did he get in without being 'approved'?
Because being competent would be the only other way to gain his office.
And by definition, if hes competent, the timing of this is bad enough to file it under malice.
