.@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 …
The idea that I can't offer critical analysis because I have less experience in the arena is not compelling. I offered plenty of critical analysis of the last admin's foreign policy despite having less experience in the arena, & I don't think that fact DQ'd my analysis

if your point is "I think this is a bad idea and this is why" then great. if your point is "I understand international business better than Trump and here's what he's missing" then i think you're kidding yourself a little
-
OK, we disagree. Plus I didn't criticize his international biz skills. I criticized his understanding of geopolitics & that is different. I also criticized Obama's understanding of geopolitics, despite his vastness of experience in the arena over mine.

I wasn't saying "POTUS's are always right" or "POTUS's can't be criticized", just saying that if you're speaking to the 1 thing they know how to do on earth it might be better to give them the benefit of the doubt
-
Fair enough. I give the benefit of the doubt on some things, not others. I don't just jump on everything he does. In fact I'm complimentary of many things.
-
i never said you did. I just think maybe knocking him on international business is like you knocking Hope Hicks on looking like a super model.
-
I didn't knock him on int'l business.
-
"a lack of understanding of geopolitics and the interconnectedness of everything" means what then. Holistic economics?

I'm not saying you can't offer analysis, I'm saying when you speak in terms of "what Trump doesn't get" or "Trump sees each deal as a one-off" you are not practicing analysis
