A word or phrase that seeks to validate the falsifiability of a statement by emphasising a lack of knowledge of understanding. Qualifiers have a legitimate use in jobs like journalism or lawyering, but otherwise tend to make you sound like a cu**.
"A qualifier is basically something you say when you wanna get punched. It's when you add a weasely word to what you're saying so you're never technically in-"

When you actually deserve the job, but you only get a foot in the door because you know someone. Basically merit… with a shortcut.
She didn’t just get the promotion because of her uncle—her skills were top-notch, it was pure qualified nepotism

A vague term that can refer to just about any person, animal or inanimate object that is better qualified to be President of the United States than failed Republican re-run Donald Trump. For some reason the GOP is hanging their hopes and dreams on the doomed presidential bid of a convicted rapist and felon who is so broke he's resorted to selling national secrets to the Chinese and doing personal favors for Vladmir Putin in exchange for campaign donations.
This snowglobe depicting the Toronto skyline and CNN Tower in a blizzard is better qualified than Donald Trump to be President because, unlike Trump, it sits harmlessly on a desk without committing rape or sedition.
This egg-salad sandwich I bought from a truck stop is better qualified than Donald Trump to be President because, unlike Trump, people will discard it when it starts to stink.
This strip of gauze with pubes stuck to it is better qualified than Donald Trump to be President because the only person it affected was the sex worker whose eyes watered when it was ripped out of her crotch during a Brazilian wax, unlike Trump who put pretty much everybody in danger when he stole documents naming undercover CIA operatives in foreign countries and sold them to Iran.
This "I ❤️ Pounding Proud Boy Ass" T-shirt is better qualified than Donald Trump to be President because it's less offensive and more fun at parties, has a better understanding of world politics and U.S. history and Constitutional law, and plus it won't try to give a long, pointless speech about how it really didn't lose the election if the Georgia governor had only committed fraud to find some "extra" Trump votes, and if it weren't for the hordes of drag-queen immigrants, by now somebody would have found evidence of the kind of voter fraud that wasn't intended to benefit Trump.

A pseudo-legal shield granted to self-declared constitutional experts who have no formal education, no courtroom wins, and no idea what habeas corpus means—but do have a ring light, a YouTube channel, and a deep commitment to shouting at traffic stops.
Qualified Incompetence protects the following behaviors:
• Quoting the Constitution out of context while live-streaming from a car
• Filing lawsuits with the same strategic finesse as a toddler launching spaghetti
• Declaring oneself a “law scholar” despite being defeated in court more times than a parking ticket
• Misinterpreting the First Amendment so badly it violates the Eighth
