I too have known some well placed men. Some are like what you describe. Others are much more measured. Trump's mistatents are more than bravado. Such as: Trump praised the Americans' military efforts in the war against Great Britain. “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets' red glare, it had nothing but victory.”
Thats not bravado. That’s a pure Bidenism. His claim he offered Haley troops for Jan. 6th. Trump too had had issues with world leaders. They both are sad.
