Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[BirkenheadBlue]

Oh ffs

Literally everyone at every level of that administration is just USELESS.

I mean this couldn't matter less, but look at how poorly written the new text is, compared to the old version. Reads like it was cobbled together by the 15 year old work experience lad.*

(* Or possibly Trump just did it himself)

I’ve said it before that I thought all bets are off when he was elected and anything he did from there was par for the maralargo course. So i never understood the shock and outrage of some of his words and actions. But how he is handing this pandemic is outrageous.

Hmm

He was sacked because the letter had been shown to lots of people and it was then leaked to the media. This endangered his ship by allowing potential enemies to believe that it was not fully operational or capable. The letter he wrote was fine, but it should have remained confidential......Sounds like he was a good commander and liked by his crew, but the Leak has done for him.....

why did he write that letter Pete?

I don’t know enough about this story to really have an accurate take on it but those under that mans leadership certainly seem to have a fairly strong view . I think their opinion might well be worth considering .

yup, clearly a good man and a good leader, you have to question why he had to write that letter and then look at those further (way further) up the chain of command when aportioning blame because it certainly shouldn't fall at his feet.

Because some of his crew were sick and he probably felt they were not being supported enough, and that‘s fine and proper. Showing it to all and sundry prior to it being leaked worldwide is the mistake. This comes in the same week as China has sunk a Vietnamese fishing boat in the South China Sea and arrested the crew. If China thinks the US are weak, and the Leaked letter showed weakness of a major military asset, then they will just carry on....

His crew seem awfully fond of someone who has endangered their ship ...

Probably why you shouldn’t have (amongst others) a commander in chief who has been shown to pretty much ONLY respond to what’s going on in the media.

Yeah but come on, what would they know?

Pretty sure because off this pandemic the enemies of the US and potential enemies know how to cripple them and take advantage off them. Especially given how disjointed the federal government has been.

Also I would say passionate captains that actually care about the ship and its crew are the best ones.

The US marines and Navy have bigger issues than a letter from a captain. Many off their ships are undermanned and the midshipmen and women are green. They havent been doing great recruiting in the last 5 to 10 years.

Well that’s another issue....

He may as well have said, the planes don’t work and we can’t do anything.....

Was it Trump who fired him ?....

I mean I’m guessing he had a hand in it, a very small hand though
