Oh, please: they didn’t prepare him?
He needed to come in with some basic knowledge, of which he had none.
He needed to focus on the task at hand, which has been clearly demonstrated he was incapable of doing.
How was anyone supposed to do anything with a guy who refused to attend briefings and has actually been caught tweeting during a live security briefing because of his daughter’s clothing line?
There is an old expression that I have seen slightly modified over the years:
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. However, you can hold the horse’s head under the water and he will either drown or drink.
DT’s staff has chosen the former.
And who chose those failing and incompetent staffers? I’d say the fish is rotting from the head downwards.
how do you prep someone with the attention span of a midge and the intellectual depth of a shallow basin of wter that the horse just drank it’s fill from?
Other than some felicitous combination of medications, I don’t see how he could be prepared or by whom.
Donald’s lack of focus…
leaving the details to the staff
Only complication? No staff.
Where does the “buck stop”? Anywhere but the OSG’s desk, apparently. Way to take responsibility, Mr. president*.
The buck stops with the people Trump hired, only the best.
Yes, how the hell staff did not say to Donnie “Hmmm, what is some random crap you could dream up out of thin air and spout on major television and at a speech? I have it!! You might assert thousands of people were bused from Massachusetts to New Hampshire to vote illegally! Tell you what, in case you want to say that, don’t. OK? Good, I’ll report to Reince you’ve been properly briefed.”
You beat me to it.
Headline should read, Lewandowski Spin Falters
They’re explaining; they’re losers. Sad!
Ooh, Reince has gotten nastier. Perhaps Bannon’s putting an occasional drop of meth in his Ovaltine?
He must be gay*, because I’d be thinking about tapping Miss Thornwood for sure. A little ginger in your soup gives it a nice kick.
*Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Professional actually means something, when you hired a doctor to fix your plumbing leak you hired the wrong TYPE of professional. Is it really this hard to understand as an adult?
There’s a saying about turds and polish that comes to mind here.
Nice Business Smarts. Not.
