I never met former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. He knows nothing about me. But look at the results under his guidance - a total disaster!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 17, 2016

It’s like that movie “When Donny Didn’t Meet Davey.” If you want to pretend you know nothing about a person, or vice versa, say you’ve “never met.” Never met David Duke ergo I know nothing about David Duke. And Robert Gates knows nothing about me! Because we never met! Trumpo the Magnificent! Knows all, sees all, except when he wants to pretend otherwise, then he’s Schulzie the Nothing-Knower! God, this guy’s fun.

But, Gates did have some choice words for Clinton as well, criticizing her being an advocate of the invasion of Libya for one, but also referencing the lack of trust some feel in the Democratic nominee.

“She has much-discussed credibility issues apart from national security, but these also influence foreign perceptions of reliability and trust,” Gates wrote.

Gee whiz Kristin, he made your point for you! What a coincidence.

Will someone, anyone that can actually ask, please ask Trump when he refers to someone with the phrase total disaster, “please Mr Trump what specifically was this disaster and how would you have, again specifically,reacted differently to the situation?”

“And well your at it how do you account for your total disaster business career - multiple bankruptcy, multiple law suits for ignoring business obligations - oh and well you are at it please explain the disaster of your personal life, no close friends, multiple marriages, court case ( on going) for improper behavior with a 13 yr old”

It could be that when you analyze it the son of a bitch only knows three or four hundred words. He’s kind of limited in many ways.

But he’s got a great .zip compression scheme. Like, he can say - “Really”. Or “Really, really”. Or “Really, really, really”. All completely different things! - We need to run our language like a business!

He’s also big on “very” as an intensifier. Also “very, very.” Nobody thought of saying “very” or “very, very” before he started saying it. If he hasn’t said that yet, he will. We know he basically invented the word “rigged.”

Trump is seventy years old, he acts seven years old. Infantile!

As I recall, Gstes also had issues with PBO…which leads me to wonder who he would back wholeheartedly …beyond himself.

Also, unfair of him to jump on Hillary’s alleged lack of “trustworthiness” without citing examples. It may be CW, but it’s wrong CW.

And to claim Hillary needs to move beyond her party’s CW on matters of national security is absurd. For better or for worse, supporting our involvement in Iraq and Libya were not core Democratic positions.

So, overall, he’s right about Trump but off base on Hillary.

I’m pretty sure Mr Gates has nothing positive to say about anyone’s judgement but his own.

This two-bit War Criminal should shut up and vanish / be disappeared. He is no good. He was the Sec. of Defense, for chrissakes, the seat of worldwide terrorism and torture. Anything Gates says is laughable self-ingratiation, like Obama, deserving only to be hung at The Hague, or anywhere really.

Did Clinton support an actual invasion of Libya or did she support the UN mandated no fly zones against Qaddafi’s air power? Is Gates prone to hyperbole or is this his idea of “fair and balanced”?

Gates: “Mrs. Clinton has time before the election to address forthrightly her trustworthiness, to reassure people about her judgment.”

Says the guy who advocated bombing Nicaragua under Reagan.

Of whom Israeli intelligence official Ari Ben-Menashe and Iranian businessman Richard Babayan both offered detailed accounts of illicit cluster-bomb transfers to Saddam.

Who, as a CIA analyst in the 1980s, said there was “no way” the Soviet Union was going to break up in his lifetime or his children’s lifetime.

Oh, by all means, Sec. Gates, tell us hows Sec. Clinton has “trustworthiness” and “judgment” issues.

Time magazine notes that Gates and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have “forged a formidable partnership”, speaking frequently, “comparing notes before they go to the White House”, meeting with each other weekly and having lunch once a month at either the Pentagon or the State Department.
– Wikipedia: Robert Gates

I guess Gates and Hillary know each other pretty well. I suppose a “formidable partnership” doesn’t extend to supporting each other for elective office though.

Trump may claim he has lived seventy years, but he never grew up. He is mentally and emotionally stunted at about age 10 +/ -3.

Since his parents clearly did not want him and shipped him off to a military institution, he grew up the ward of an unquestioned trust fund, and has surrounded himself by leeches and parasites (Steve Bannon, KellyAnn, Etc…)

And the media wants him elected or doesn’t give a damned about America.

America is either back in 1922 Italy, 1933 Germany, or 1936 Spain. That’s where the media-vulnerable voters are. Spain would be the best hope as an example because the British MI-6 helped Franco take over Spain as a counterweight to Hitler, but America isn’t that lucky. We are getting the ignorant and utterly insane one. The media loves it.

Yeah well, you get why, perhaps - {hint} she’s lacking an essential organ with which to augment her decisions, according to every man in the Old Boys’ Club, ever.
