Top General Called Trump 'an Idiot' and Said Melania Was 'Inquisitive & Smarter' Than Him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

One of the country's top generals dismissed President Donald Trump as "an idiot" businessman with no "basic understanding of national security" at a 2017 dinner, according to another official's notes from that night that were published by The Washington Post on Wednesday.

In the Post story about sexual assault allegations against Gen. John E. Hyten, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Col. Kathy Spletstoser shared notes she took from the October 2017 dinner where she annotated the general's comments.

The Post story about Spletstoser details some strikingly candid thoughts Hyten once shared about the first couple.

“The president is an idiot,” he told Spletstoser and others who attended a prior briefing on the dinner, the Post reported.

1. Isn't that kinda like saying a rock is smarter than a cup of tea?

[Cha]

20. Yeah.. good one. I was thinking.. it doesn't take

much to be "smarter" than trump.. they're both VILE.

[Freethinker65]

2. Makes one wonder what Melania was asking about and why?

[blm]

3. So she can pass the info to Vlad.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. Makes me wonder, too.

Why is she being briefed on intel/military matters? Does she even have clearance?

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. the locations of all our intercontinental ballistic missile fields

Seriously. That's what it says.

[mr_lebowski]

4. Kinda difficult to get excited about this news given the allegations (nt)

[Sancho]

5. Russian spies are not stupid...

...but MF45 may be the lowest IQ of any President ever.

I'd honestly like to see him take an ability test (IQ).

13. When Trump insulted Rex Tillerson's intelligence, MENSA offered to monitor an IQ test for Donald.

He was smart enough to not take them up on the offer.

6. Ummm! (raises hand, quivering with eagerness/intensity)

What is Melania's interest in "the locations of all our intercontinental nuclear ballistic missile fields"?

Asking for a friend. And probably, so is she.

Wouldn't you say, tovarishch Vladimir Vladimirovich?

[Nevilledog]

8. WTF???

[Blue Owl]

11. Whoa...

I'd be willing to bet that Vladdy now has this information...

[EX500rider]

14. Where they are is really no secret and the Russians have certainly know since the '60's

Five hundred Minuteman III missiles are deployed at four bases in the north- central United States: Minot AFB and Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota, Malmstrom AFB, Montana, and F. E. Warren AFB, Wyoming.

[JHB]

16. Yes, but active ones? Secret ones?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a White House-level source to provide info to check your own intel against?

[EX500rider]

17. They've never been secret, they are active Air Force bases. nt

[fierywoman]

18. This:

“I also spent a lot of time talking to Melania Trump about the locations of all our intercontinental ballistic missile fields," he continued. "She was more inquisitive and smarter than the president.”


WTF?!?!?

[JonLP24]

7. I knew he had no basic understanding of foreign policy before he was elected

Is when he would talk about ISIS.


Especially when he said this

Donald Trump made a drastic call on Monday for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

9. They need to add a question. Ask him to tell a lie, then see if he remembers it later.

For the next time they think they need to test him. He'd blow that one for sure.

12. Why would a general be talking to her about ICBM sites?

Why would she need to know about something like that? Who would she be sharing that information with?

[EX500rider]

15. They aren't secret bases.

Five hundred Minuteman III missiles are deployed at four bases in the north- central United States: Minot AFB and Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota, Malmstrom AFB, Montana, and F. E. Warren AFB, Wyoming.
