Yes, it is very interesting. If they only knew how much that makes my decision feel right. We do not need more insiders. They just do not understand. Bless their hearts.

This whole article shows exactly how clueless and disassociated the Washington insiders are with the rest of America...

They really think they are the only people in this country that have a brain...

We, the “unwashed masses”, haven’t any idea how things should be run...

“Michael Rubin, a Middle East expert”

This is the expert who is quoted for most of the comments in the article. He attacks Trumps choices.

Does anybody know who he is and why he is considered an expert?

Poor babies. Perhaps a shakeup is what is needed.

he doesn’t grasp how Washington’s network of decision-makers collaborate on important global decisions.
.......................................................
EXACTLY the REASON people want Trump. We have had enough of the “experts” leading our country to rack and ruin. We are in the worst shape we have ever been in and so called experts continue to lead us to G;obalism and the destruction of America.
Jeff Sessions is all the expertise we need. He adises Trump. “Nuff said.”

God could appear and announce as part of Trump’s foreign policy team, and the media would still say the same crap.

I’m not sure what their problem is. It’s not like Trump is going to listen to them anyway.

You have it right! But then of course, most of the Libs/RiNoS don’t really believe in God. GO TRUMP!

>>I like when people submit things that are supposed to be “bad news” for Trump. Often proves to be the exact opposite

I think Laz tried to start a list, but I don’t know if it took off.

I have to agree. I’ve seen a number of items, for example, where I see someone denouncing Trump, and I think “well, that’s another plus for the guy!”
