The Chernobyl disaster was technically due to a combination of a flawed and unsafe reactor design and a cultural arrogance on the part of the Soviet politicians and engineers that underestimated the probability of a failure based on a Soviet ideological bias that was indoctrinated into them from the top down.

There is no parallel with Trump’s demands for performance and excellence that characterize true leadership.
