He is not part of the establishment political-intelligence apparatchik and Trump, like most Americans of all income classes, has been steeped in what the chattering classes have been feeding America for 24 years- “Bush Lied People Died”
GWBush himself failed to mount a vigorous defense of his own decisions and spent most of his second term meekly ducking and covering in noble silence under attack, encouraging and even feeding this whole meme that Saddam was no threat to us and that Bush's decision to go into Iraq TO ENFORCE UN MANDATES was fabricated for personal reasons
I believe Trump's views are wrong wrong wrong but I understand why he has them
I think once he is “read in” on national security issues and starts receiving classified information, it will change his views on a lot of things
God let’s hope so if we make such a huge mistake because right now he’s either ignorant (and yes he is not read in) or he’s keen to harm the USA at any expense for his own benefit.
