Trump - His ideas presented last night

Without the much-scorned teleprompter that has kept Trump modestly on-track in recent speeches, what was revealed—again—was a man so utterly devoid of tact, truthfulness, or information that anyone watching should have seen enough to know that Donald Trump as president would be a catastrophe of dinosaur killer scale.

In less than twenty minutes of talking, Donald Trump generated a list of statements, any one of which should be genuinely disqualifying.

• He called the existing generals of the US military “rubble” and declared that he would replace them with selections from the list of retirees who endorsed Trump.
• Given the opportunity to walk back his previous statement, Trump instead doubled-down on the idea that rape in the military is the inevitable result of allowing women to serve alongside men.
• He spent a full two minutes singing the praises of Vladimir Putin, and when reminded of a few of Putin’s foibles—invading Crimea, supporting dictators, generally killing people he doesn’t like—Trump replied with a remark about “thing Obama has done.” 
• He excused his Putin love by declaring that Putin “has an 82 percent approval rating.” 82 percent? Bah! Fearless Leader won last election with 117 percent of vote!
• Trump once again called on America to replace nation-building with empire-building by “taking Iraq’s oil.” Using some kind of unspecified special troops that we can only assume includes Bruce Willis and the best damn oil-stealers on Earth.
• He revealed that he doesn’t have a secret plan to eliminate ISIS, except that he does have a secret plan, except that he’s going to ask the generals, and maybe he will make a hybrid plan, or maybe not. But he’s not telling.
• In perhaps the peak insanity of the night (though really, by the time we reached this point, my insanity detector was numb) Trump let America in on his secret military intelligence briefings and revealed the startling fact that he could tell that the intelligence staff was really pissed at Obama, and Clinton, and John Kerry … because “I’m really good at body language.”
• He finished by declaring that Hillary Clinton has “a happy trigger.”

Oh yeah, and Trump was against going into Iraq and Libya and anything you see, like film showing Trump cheerleading for going into Iraq and Libya, is a lie. So there.

Donald Trump revealed a not at all surprising, but still jaw-dropping ignorance of the US military, the government, the world, and the fact that we’re all capable of actually checking to see what he said last week. His answers included the usual Trump line up: Suggesting that the United States engage in a war crime, a jihad on military leaders who didn’t bow, and enough Putin love that it called for a clean-up crew.

And still, pundits are on your television right this moment, pretending that there was some equivalence between Trump’s and Clinton’s performance. Because … Honestly, I no longer know.
