blunderer
This term carries a strong negative connotation, emphasizing a lack of competence, foresight, or grace. It describes someone whose failures are not merely accidental but result from a perceived lack of judgment or clumsiness. While a "mistake" is a neutral event, being labeled a "blunderer" suggests a habitual or characteristic tendency toward embarrassing errors.
In terms of register, the word is slightly more formal or literary than "screw-up" or "klutz," but it remains critical. It is often used in political or professional contexts to describe a leader or official whose poor decision-making leads to a public or strategic disaster.
