During Monday’s The 11 th Hour on MSNBC, serial liar Brian Williams trotted of an expert panel of Trump critics and let them loose to smear the President’s actions against North Korea. “On the one hand, Brian, when you have a dangerous stand-off with a nuclear-armed adversary, of course, you would like to think that within our government we have stability, methodical planning, every step is very calculated, ” declared Politico ’s Michael Crowley, “And I’m not sure we can be certain that that’s happening in this administration right now.”
Crowley began his comments by suggesting that Trump’s approach to foreign policy is that of Nixon’s “madman theory.” Basically, the theory says you act so unpredictably that your adversary can’ t predict your actions and will come to the table to negotiate.
“But I definitely see that as part of the strategy here, to kind of psych the North Koreans out, to try to dislodge this status quo, by suggesting we’re just crazy enough to do the thing that George W. Bush or Barack Obama would never do, ” he explained, “I just don’t think it has a high probability of working.”
Those comments opened the floodgates and unleashed anti-Trump condemnation from the other commentators.
Former CIA chief of staff, and Obama administration lackey, Jeremy Bash railed against the President and claimed that the military would resent Trump’s leadership:
Can I jump in here and say, the hallmark of military capability is discipline, it’s uniformity. It’s why the military wears uniforms, and people who come into the military on their very first day, they learn to salute. They have respect for the chain of command. If at the top of the chain of command there’s someone who’s erratic, undisciplined, unpredictable it causes the whole chain of command to disintegrate.
Bash was followed up by failed McCain campaign aide Nicolle Wallace, who chided Trump’s mental state.
