    First of all, it’s laughable to think that this is true. Secondly, if it was true then he’s admitting how out of touch he is with the operation of his own administration.

      I mean, not really? If I delegate a bunch of people who work for me to go take care of something, I expect them to take care of it and report back, not send me an exhaustive list of everything they did to accomplish it including which apps they used to discuss arrangements. Much as I hate defending Trump about anything, no president has the time or energy to keep track of what his underlings are doing to such a level of detail.

          Well yeah, he’s clearly responsible for putting idiots in power, I’m just saying he can’t manage their daily shit.

        I’m not talking about the inciting incident, I’m talking about the reporting on the incident. If there is a meaningful security breach related to US military operations, the president sure needs to be aware of it, especially if it being reported on in public.

          Oh, it’s certain he was told, otherwise he wouldn’t be rolling out one of his typical know-nothing denials.

          He’s too stupid to understand the importance of secure operations, and he’s following Putin’s directions to weaken US government and military security anyway. What’s an arsonist care about a small nearby fire started by his flunkies?

          It’s also worth nothing that what’s happening with the Houthis is directly related to a genocidal war started several years ago by none other than Muhammad Bone Saw, the psychopathic Saudi crown prince and de facto king.

        If I delegate someone to do something and they fuck up majorly, I expect to be the first to know.
