A lot going on today, but THIS just stunned me:
Brian Williams on @MSNBC says a source tells him and Nicolle D Wallace they're not sure Trump knew there were Americans stationed in Qatar.

reports what amounts to a pathologic inability to focus attention on anything that's not specifically about him and that when briefed he simply doesn't remember.
Even in the middle of the briefing, like touring a Navy ship inspecting the changeover from steam to electromagnetic catapults -- that briefing was so misunderstood that he told them on the spot that he was scrapping the multi-billion-dollar new technology because obsolete steam was better.
Another fun side to this is that, reportedly, his handlers have learned that advising him what NOT to say is problematic because that can result in it being the first thing out of his mouth when that topic comes up.
Poor dears.
PRESIDENT RUMP'S OWN CONFUSED VERSION: "I said, “You don’t use steam anymore for catapult?” “No sir.” I said, “Ah, how is it working?” “Sir, not good. Not good. Doesn’t have the power. You know the steam is just brutal. You see that sucker going and steam’s going all over the place, there’s planes thrown in the air.”
It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said—and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers. I said, “What system are you going to be—” “Sir, we’re staying with digital.” I said, “No you’re not. You going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it’s no good.”
Besides, what he says or does doesn't mean anything...until vetted....
I like Brian, too.
I like his style. He's a polite and considerate host. He lets his guests speak and finish their thoughts. He is intelligent, and has decades of experiences and knowledge. Plus, he has a nice sense of humor.
He's not perfect, but neither am I. I don't always agree or like what he says, but who wants that all the time. Not me.
Remember?
