Not even as much as I do, and I know nothing.

He confidently displays his ignorance. What does he think an "exit strategy" is?

99.9% of newscasts are about him. I can't believe I'm still functioning after 4 years of having him shoved down my throat.

I understand the train wreck that is Trump is news ratings gold but they need to start taking national security seriously, and feeding this guy's insatiable ego certainly is enabling him.

8. Strategy?

Doesn't that involve establishing goals and weighing out the options and variables?
Trump is impulse-driven, a second rate self-promoting p.r.-guy, a wanna-be Putin, and stupid as a box of rocks (what's worse: a stupid psychopath or a smart one? Hmm-mm-mm).
What could go wrong?

None of this is funny... Whoever laughed is really deep in narcissistic co-dependency.

It would be good to know who, in our government, thought the idea of exit strategies is so funny.

off topic-ish....he's got a now definite habit of not standing even when everyone else is in the office.
That desk can be a refuge, and a bragging right.

He knows nothing. He understands nothing. He needs to be removed immediately.

I hate this motherfucker with a passion. He thinks he knows what he is doing and he is a complete and utter moron. He is going to destroy the world if we don't get rid of him.
