President Trump is surrounded by fools

Did a scan and didn't see this recent one from Dana Milbank

President Trump is surrounded by fools.

There’s that fool William H. McRaven, Special Operations commander of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and the other fools in the U.S.?military, who should have brought down bin Laden “a lot sooner,” because “everybody in Pakistan” — all 208 million of them — knew the terrorist leader was living in “a nice mansion.” Trump alone “predicted Osama bin Laden” in 2000 when “nobody really knew who he was.”(Were they waiting for Trump to give them bin Laden’s Zip code plus four?)

There are the fools in the CIA, who have concluded based on so-called evidence that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered last month’s killing of Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi. But Trump alone understands that we’ll never know the truth, because the crown prince denied involvement “maybe five different times.”

No one has suffered as many fools as Trump has. But this is to be expected when a “very stable genius” leads a “stupid country.”

Trump knows “more about courts than any human being.” He knows “more about steelworkers than anybody.” He knows “more about ISIS than the generals do,” and “more about offense and defense than they will ever understand.” He knows “more about wedges than any human being that’s ever lived.” He even knows more about medicine than his doctor, dictating a doctor’s letter predicting he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

1. It is more like he is surrounded by Remoras.

They attach themselves to larger predators in hopes of eating the scraps.

Geomoras. Loyal until the meal is gone.

2. If Trump actually called the bin Laden compound "a nice mansion" as alluded to in that piece

I have a humble proposal. In return for sparing the government the cost of a trial by pleading guilty to all of the various frauds, thefts, conspiracies, espionages and treasons, instead of a Supermax cell he can spend the rest of his life in a replica of the bin Laden compound (built on the grounds of a Supermax facility of course). He can even have company -- any of his kids who are also convicted can stay there too if both parties initially agree, but that arrangement is permanent, no takesies-backsies.
