Trump Bombs And Delivers Historically Terrible Performance At Commander In Chief Forum

Donald Trump gave what was nothing less than the worst performance of a nominee in modern political history. Trump confirmed that he knows nothing, and is proud of his ignorance.

Trump began by telling America that he was fit to be commander in chief because he is a business man. Trump once again praised his own judgment and lied about his opposition to the war in Iraq.

Lauer asked Trump if the country can afford to take the temperament risk on him. Trump brought up the Mexico trip and claimed that the firestorm his trip caused in Mexico was a victory.

Trump was asked about his claim that he knows more about ISIS than the generals, and he avoided the question. Lauer asked Trump if he lost faith in the military commanders. Trump did a song and dance about how trusts the military commanders, but he doesn’t trust Hillary Clinton.

A vet who is a Democrat asked Trump about his secret plan to defeat ISIS and asked what his plan for the region is. Trump repeated the question about how the US has invaded and never had a plan. Trump lied and claimed that Obama pulled out all of the troops, and that is how ISIS was formed. Trump repeated his babbling that the US should take the oil. Lauer asked how the oil would be taken, and Trump mumbled something about leaving people behind to take the oil.

When the Con was asked about the generals, he said "The Generals have been reduced to rubble under Obama". I damn near fell off the couch when I heard that! I'm not sure which of his comments were worse. That one, or the one where he said "There is no judicial authority in our military." Bet the JAG officers love him for that one!

It is such a disjointed and nonsensical statement. He's a buffoon. He's like the lazy kid in school who figures he can just bullshit his way through the exam. He obviously didn't prepare/study for this forum at all.

Although he didn't say it in so may words, he believes he knows everything and doesn't HAVE to prepare.

Keep their oil??!! Does he not know that colonial times ended a hundred years ago and that this is now considered a war crime? Does he think he lives in a Rudyard Kipling novel?
