"...because he dosn't have the ATTENTION SPAN to see it through."Jamie Raskin was on All In with Chris Hayes, and quoted a conservative colleague regarding Trump.
"You liberals are too hard on Trump. You know he's not going to get us in to a war, because he doesn't have the attention span to see it through."
TRUE: Indeed, the addled brained crook has the attention span of a goldfish. He doesn't have the attention span to guide the country through a war.
FALSE: Why would ANYBODY, with even a rudimentary knowledge of Trump, think that obvious limitation would STOP him from starting a war? His lack of ability, and total incompetence in almost every field hasn't stopped him from trying them. It takes an incredible level of financial incompetence to bankrupt a casino, but he, somehow, managed to do it six times!

The original was from Robert Reich whom I respect. But I thought the piece was a little overthought. Reich credited the sustaining conflict on the Iranians use of the principle OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act). My response was OODA, my booty! This war is sustaining because winning war takes everything this apricot asshole lacks. His plan for this war is right up there with his healthcare plan. And scads of generals with centuries of experience between them have to go along on this walk in the wilderness at night. What a tragedy.
