This is a snippet of what Gen (R) Barry McCaffrey makes of all this. “We’re in trouble... on very shaky ground. The President sounds erratic, impulsive and making fundamentally bad decisions... Congress [is] going to have to... step in. provide oversight over what increasingly looks like a rogue presidency”- https://twitter.com/mccaffreyr3?lang=en

I had a higher opinion of McCaffrey before I read your post. WTF. The President is doing nothing ‘rogue’. He is not listening to the echo of K Street coming from his supposed professional defense advisers. Trump is actually performing his office as the Framers meant it to be. As the Chief Executive of a Constitutional Republic he is in ultimate control of the military forces and foreign policy of the nation. What he is doing is a clear exercise of ‘The Buck Stops Here’ leadership. McCaffrey is certainly neither stupid or ignorant so either his monetary masters are pulling his strings or the permanent government really has gotten above itself and truly believes the experts by self-definition rule and not the people or the people's elected representatives.
