“The Obama administration was the most academic administration we have ever had to deal with but the Trump administration has been the most thoughtful and intelligent.”
BOOM!
I love that line!
"Trump continually asked “How can you win? What does Afghanistan need to win?” in reference to our fight with terrorism. Trump wants to win. Sincerely. All the Obama administration wanted to do was not lose."
He think he meant the most sophomoric administration rather than the most academic administration.
The Trump administration is packed with doers and achievers. When they meet resistance, they build and route around it.
“The Obama adminsitration was the most academic....”
That is, they were self-proclaimed brilliant intellectual geniuses who thought they knew better than all other humans.
Just saying.
IMHO
And there you have the difference between academia and common sense.
Between book-learned and real world.
