“When it comes to credibility problems, though, Donald Trump is in a league of his own,” Gates, a Republican who led the Defense Department under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Friday, adding that electing Trump is “too great a risk for America.”
“The world we confront is too perilous and too complex to have as president a man who believes he, and he alone, has all the answers and has no need to listen to anyone,” Gates wrote. “A thin-skinned, temperamental, shoot-from-the-hip and lip, uninformed commander in chief is too great a risk for America.”
Translation: he's not a golf-addicted deer in the headlights, who'll run to his bedroom to play cards with Reggie on the night of Benghazi and let adults make the tough decisions".
Hey, Gates, lets talk about your credibility problems.
In other words, Trump is not the quintessential company man that Gates himself represents.
