Gary Kasparov on Trump's (now infamous) Jan 2 cabinet meeting

From Jan 4- found this when I was looking for a video clip of his appearance tonight on MSNBC (Meet the Press daily). No luck on the video, but this was a good piece. If nothing else, for this introductory paragraph alone:

There were many bizarre moments during President Trump’s cabinet meeting on Wednesday, but I’ll discuss just one that falls under my domain. Unlike the alleged leader of the free world, I prefer to speak from authority. Despite his claims of expertise on everything from foreign policy to campaign finance laws, every time Trump speaks off-script, the truth is revealed. He’s a Russian matryoshka doll of ignorance, with numerous layers of cluelessness wrapped up inside a total lack of self-awareness.
