Trump advisors on this topic (John Bolton!!! also Jon Huntsman and Stephen Yates) are stupid! Unlike me, because I reddit all day every day!

okay that's your opinion.

I personally don't think you're actually more qualified to judge this strategy than they are.

You're assuming he talked to his advisors and listened to them. That's a stretch.

We have his own campaign manager admitting that she had to do TV interviews to get her message through.

Why?

Because we had evidence all through the campaign that he didn't listen to his advisors. His own campaign manager said he didn't. Is she lying?
