.@realDonaldTrump’s weak spot is a lack of understanding of geopolitics & the interconnectedness of everything. All presidents have weak spots (the last one had his weak spots) - this is Trump’s. => https://twitter.com/jonathanvswan/status/969203979245662208 …

i mean obviously i dont know his internal thinking either but i would think the more likely scenario is that the guy who does multi million dollar deals internationally & rose to the highest office on a foreign-policy based platform probably "gets" a little bit of it

I didn't say POTUS was an idiot - I said doesn't appear to get this 1 thing. (Bush implemented steel tariffs too, I don't think that was right just cuz wasn't Trump) Plus I regularly offered critical analysis of Obama (ie. Iran deal) despite how smart he is given elected prez

I mean (I don't like the comparison but..) did MacArthur land and Inchon because he just "didn't get" that he was supposed to break out of the Pusan perimeter and march north the normal way? or because he thought his way was better

I'm not arguing that Trump doesn't think his way is better and has his reasons, I'm saying his reasoning is faulty & not better. I'm not criticizing motives or saying he's not a thinking person.

or, if you went to a used car lot and the salesman said "I want to show you the greatest car in the world!" and took you to an old beater, would you say "this guy is bad at his job because he doesn't even know that's not the best car in the world"?

Trump's motives are not the issue - his methods are.

him instituting a tariff on chinese solar panels caused a chinese company to open a plant here in the US. what's the issue with that method?
-
Steep steel tariffs are not solar tariffs. But even that gets beyond my broader critique.

your last tweet sounds exactly like people who said GWB was literally retarded & just wore an earpiece & repeated whatever Karl Rove said into it. "Let me tell you all about a guy I've never spent any time with's interior monologue" is the height of armchair quarterbacking

I guess he should have gone to journalism school instead, that way he'd be an expert on everything. Instead he's just a billionaire international business magnate who rules the free world in his spare time, all without really "getting" any of it
