I bet Trump is smarter than you.
More likely than not. I just start laughing when the true blue members of the Orange Brigade try to explain away clear mistakes in judgment perpetrated by Trump. Examples would include the aforementioned Thoroughly Modern Milley.
Milley should have been fired ten seconds after he called his Chinese counterpart.
I'll never forget the half dozen Nuclear Surety Inspections I participated in Germany from 77-79. The Deputy CG of 32nd AADCOM attended the outbriefings of each inspection. Should that Nike Hercules battery fail (a rare event), he was there to relieve the Battery, Battalion, and Group Commanders on the spot.
The question that should bother you is, "what if Night Hides Not is smarter than Trump?" lol
