Clearly Trump’s advisors are getting their cues from TV shows. A recent episode of “Braindead” (the premise is politicians being infected with brain eating bugs which make them super extremists) featured a high security briefing for two Senators. The one infested senator had been insisting on going to war, but the security briefing said there was no threat warranting such action. The senators, of course, could not comment on the specifics of the briefing, but the pro war senator held a press conference and claimed he had been “shocked” by what he had learned and insisted that plans for war must be expedited. The other senator couldn’t contradict him without revealing classified information. It’s almost as if Trump was using the actual script in his remarks on his security briefing.
I wonder if all of his years on “reality” TV have made him confused about the difference between reality and TV.
