The Trump administration has no coherent foreign policy, period. So here we are and all due to a man who is incurious, who does not surround himself with experts, read position papers, alienates allies then demand they do more, is addled, confused, chaotic and blames everything on Obama. He should not be allowed to decide whether or not to go to war under any circumstances. He is not well.

Even if we can’t put it through, somebody with a high enough platform has to say we can’t have this crazy person running through the powder magazine with a Roman candle any more, it just won’t do. None of what Trump does is a “controversy” about which reasonable minds can differ. He’s fucking nuts. And it’s time to start saying so louder.

“Citing a lack of ‘coherent strategy’…”

If it weren’t for incoherent strategy, he’d have no strategy at all.

Perhaps if Pelosi tweeted her responses she would get more response from tRump… since it is now recognized as the official way to make notifications between the branches of the government

“Members of Congress have serious, urgent concerns about the administration’s decision to engage in hostilities against Iran and about its lack of strategy moving forward,” she said. “Our concerns were not addressed by the President’s insufficient War Powers Act notification and by the administration’s briefing today.”

Citing a lack of “coherent strategy,”

Using Trump and coherent in the same sentence is a violation of the English language, the laws of nature, and a violation the multiverse theory.

He should not be allowed to decide if the baby’s bathwater is warm enough.

You know, seriously, when he was out of breath today I thought for the first time he could be in heart failure.

He’s fat and cognitively impaired. It takes him far more effort to read and concentrate than a normal functioning 72-73 yr old man.

I don’t disagree but I’ve seen heart failure up pretty close recently and it just flashed into my mind. When it’s bad, just walking and standing can be exhausting.

Was anyone expecting a coherent discussion with his Orangeness?

If they were, delusions doesn’t even begin to describe.

Push on, Nancy. Push on.

All you armchair doctors out there - this guy put his name a on a letter stating Trump is the healthiest person to be president since Columbus stumbled upon the Americas.

Just wish some of the news talkers would acknowledge how incoherent his sentences were!
