.@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 …
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?

lol you were sitting there talking about how he only sees deals as isolated one offs when really they're all connected. is that not a commentary on his business acumen? And you are more qualified to deal with geopolitics now than Obama was in 08, I have no doubt of that
-
No, that was not a comment on his business acumen at all. Not in my opinion. (Iran deal came at end of Obama's tenure - was my critique of that deal unfounded? Clearly Obama knew more & was more experienced than me.)
-
you are talking more about Obama than Trump. I have no idea why. I would rather you had been President in 16 than him though. The results would have been better

ie "Eisenhower doesn't get this thing about domestic corn subsidies" is totally different than "Eisenhower doesn't get this thing about the US position in Europe"
