Loose Lips Sink Ships

Donald Trump, in the now well-known meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak at the White House, said, "I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," according to the NYTimes. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off."   So is he reassuring the Russians or what?

One of NSA chief H.R. McMasters' aides said of Donald Trump, "It can be difficult to advise the President effectively given his seemingly short attention span and propensity to be easily distracted," The aide went on to say, "You can't say what not to say," the source said of Trump, "because that will then be one of the first things he'll say."   That obviously makes it very difficult to even give Trump intelligence briefings. Perhaps they are all staying on the job to protect all of us from the man who gave them the jobs. This man has the power to annihilate life. Is that a comforting thought?

So now that Trump is on his first foreign adventure, starting in Saudi Arabia where he is scheduled to give a speech about Islam (a speech written by Stephen Miller who wrote the Muslim travel ban), what could possible go wrong?
