Donald Trump denied reporting from The New York Times that his administration is planning to send 120,000 troops to the Middle East in response to Iran, saying on Tuesday that he has not planned for that.
But Trumps denial of the report doesnt prove that The New York Times is pushing fake news, as the president claims. Instead, it just shows that Trumps national security team is leaving him out of key foreign policy plans.
Is it possible the president of the United States has so outsourced his foreign policy to a neocon hawk (John Bolton) that he doesnt know what the hells going on? MSNBCs Chris Matthews asked on Tuesday.
New York Times reporter Peter Baker responded, Its certainly possible that they have discussed war plans without him at this point. I mean theyre not bringing to him for actual approval.
