The whole administration is full of unqualified people who are following a narcissistic leader who doesn't have a clue about what he needs to do.

I hope that many of us have figured out that he personally wasn't going to pull off the attack himself, but his now inflamed followers, if there is to be an attack, are the ones that would do it. I've been wondering the same thing for days, now!!

It's about risk mitigation, not "winning." And, as Trump proves almost every day, "winning" isn't always the same as actually winning.

Sometimes, the best way to mitigate a potential risk is to leave things as they are. Unless you have a tiny penis and need to prove something, of course -- otherwise, sometimes the best course is to leave things as they are.
