Another trump bomb. They weren’t “reportedly blindsided”, they were intentionally duped. Politico had a more detailed article.

But that didn’t prevent boot-licker McMaster to go and spin for Trump.The “Dereliction of Duty” BS is only Monday Morning Quarterbacking, when placed in a position to make a difference he just dropped his pants and bend over just like the Viet-Nam era generals.

“It’s unclear whether Trump removed the section of the speech himself or if he was persuaded to do so by his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and senior policy adviser, Stephen Miller.”

“…or by Jared Kushner on the KGB line inside the Russian embassy.”

Trump says what he thinks. He’s not beholden to anyone because he’ll self-fund his campaign. He’ll run America like he runs his businesses, etc.

Isn’t that white thing on the side of Trump’s head, now as he’s speaking live, the cap his fake hair is woven into? I don’t think that’s supposed to show…

Three of Trump’s top advisers and cabinet leaders—National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson—had all worked on the address Trump was to deliver at NATO headquarters in Brussels, and they included language reaffirming the U.S. commitment to Article 5, the provision in the NATO treaty about collective defense, per Politico.

And they were not told that Trump wouldn’t mention Article 5, only finding out as he delivered the address on May 25, Politico reported.

National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton did not deny this account, according to Politico.

Which means that ‘45’ believes that going this route is a winning strategy.

“The president attended the summit to show his support for the NATO alliance, including Article 5. His continued effort to secure greater defense commitments from other nations is making our alliance stronger,” he told Politico.

and the lie continueeeessssss

Now he is on tv talking about the previous administration “not knowing what they’re doing.” The man is nothing if not ironic.
