A reasonable statement, my good FRiend. Thanks.
Wisdom? Well, I would never say such as things as "I like people who weren't captured"...astonishing, as I knew wonderful folks whose close relatives are/were MIAs and can only imagine the pain from the careless statement, or more recently, re the Ukraine war... "I could solve that in 24 hours"... beyond false and merely unwise.
And knowledge? A few decades back, as an Airman then Sergeant in the USAF, I learned the care and safe-keeping of classified information. We all knew to take those quite seriously. Mister Trump's (alleged, I give the facts space to fully appear) attitude toward classified material is unbelievable, especially when he had the knowledge of the correct procedures.
I've said here that we have better alternatives than to nominate Mister Trump as the GOP candidate, however that I would support and vote for him if he did get the nod.
Now, he won't. He simply will not get the votes for the nom. Major and minor supporters will distance themselves from DJT, and I'm afraid that Trump won't take it with...wisdom.
And I cannot believe how flippant these people have become about classified. Many of them know nothing about it, but some do and are still rationalizing.
Favorite canard: “President can classify and declassify anything he wants unilaterally at the wave of a hand”. Like it was ok he took it away from secure containment, and could by himself later declare it unclassified.
How does anyone know if it’s declassified etc unless someone else is there also to record that fact? Someone has to be handy to verify and record and spread the word.
