    Jeet Heer Retweeted Secretary Pompeo

    Hilariously, one way to read this is that Trump is desperately trying to create a backchannel to Iran in order to thwart the lunatics he's put in charge of national security & they're trying to foreclose that possibility by taking to twitter.https://twitter.com/SecPompeo/status/1142557293420175363 …

    First, President Trump did not pass a message through Oman calling for talks with Iran. We have made our position abundantly clear and we are willing to engage when the time is right.

        You give Trump credit for having too many smarts. He is not intelligent enough or strategic enough to manage such a process.

        That's probably the correct way to read this. Although I wonder if he's capable of recognizing lunatics.

        That reading is itself desperate. Has Trump ever been afraid of just firing someone? Why would he be so afraid of the Pompeo/Bolton hydra and which bone in his body is so deeply averse to war?

        Trump is actually a total chicken shit when it comes to firing people.

        So...why have the lunatics like Pompeo and Bolton in those positions in the first place? He should hire personnel to execute the policies he wants. Trump has never understood that basic concept.

        Donald hired almost all assholes and incompetents. I bet he self identified them being an idiots and assholes they’d do exactly what he wanted no questions asked.

        It’s amazing is HOW MANY of these people have left, some for just doing the bare minimum of their job, like Jeff Sessions. Others, well, I must say the “president” (in name only) is probably surprised that not everyone kowtows to him.
