Fox News analyst and Trump adviser Walid Phares was on Fox News’ “What’s Happening Now” talking about foreign policy, especially in regards to Iran. He was asked if Trump could handle the situation in the Middle East. He said:
“Because I heard him, I met him, we looked at maps, I heard what the partners are saying. He can mobilize public opinion. Remember, one of the problems that President Obama had, and even the last two years of the presidency of Mr. Bush, they could not mobilize anymore of the American public to confront the threat. We have been de-mobilized. He can mobilize them. As long as he has the right direction and the right experts, of course in the future, then he could do it better than others, in my view.”
Yes, Donald Trump can read a map. Maybe. I’ll admit that I’m surprised. However, this does not qualify him to lead on foreign policy issues. We’ve seen that he doesn’t know what he is doing in this department.
He is also not good at hiding sensitive information. He has started receiving intelligence briefings and he leaked sensitive information about Saudi Arabia at one of his rallies.
He was in a foreign policy meeting recently, and he asked three times why we can’t “just use nukes if we have them.”
This orange blowhard is way too erratic to handle these situations. He should not be eager to use these horrific devices. No one wants to see a nuclear war.
Many foreign policy experts are backing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state under President George W. Bush, said that he will not vote for Trump. He said:
“If Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for Hillary Clinton … He doesn’t appear to be a Republican, he doesn’t appear to want to learn about issues. So, I’m going to vote for Mrs. Clinton.”
Donald Trump is horrifyingly unstable. He is just plain not fit to run a country.
