It is funny how many times Trump gets "snowed" or "given bad advice" or "listens to the wrong people", etc, etc, etc.
After making so many managerial mistakes, you would think the problem is not everyone else, but Trump himself.
The gentlemen was quite clear they actively mislead the President. Seems like something the CINC could shoot you for - lying about troops in a war zone. Alas, he was not the man of the posters.
He didn’t start any new wars with anyone, which in this sad age of the American Empire is a commendable event in its own right.
