After yesterday, I'm really beginning to wonder if the President is playing with a full deck.
He is entitled to his opinions on what will make America safest, richest, best. I don't necessarily agree but he gets to decide.
He made two comments yesterday, though, that show he's completely cut off from the reality on the ground.
First, The President says Putin really seems sincere that he didn't have anything to do with interfering in our election. Then one of his handlers pulled him aside and said, Sir: You just threw US Intelligence under the bus. You need to fix that. So the Pres comes back with the profound observation that Putin believes he didn't interfere with the election. So what does that have to do with the price of eggs, and why does the President think Putin is going to tell the truth on this matter? This is what I mean about the President not relying on any facts in that "gut feeling" of his.
Second, while the State Department and who knows who else is madly trying to reach out to North Korea to initiate some sort of talks/negotiations regarding their nukes, Trump gets hold of his phone and calls Kim Jung Un short and fat. Well, that will certainly help things along, Mr. President. Ultimately, it is whether the President can be trusted at his word for negotiations to be successful. Yet the President stands at the podium saying he hopes to God we will not have war with North Korea and 24 hours later he is flaming KJU on Twitter. The President is not taking any of the ongoing diplomatic efforts into consideration while he plays his games. He is showing no understanding of the actual reality of the situation whatsoever.
Two examples in one day. I am beginning to wonder.
