Trump on His Foreign Policy Advisers: "I'm Speaking With Myself"


On March 8, Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski asked Donald Trump whether he had a foreign policy team. Trump gave a rambling response, saying, "Yes, there is a team. There's not a team. I'm going to be forming a team. I have met with far more than three people." On Wednesday morning, Brzezinski gave Trump another shot at the question. She asked him again about his foreign policy team and strategy and, more specifically, whom he consults with consistently.



Trump replied: "I'm speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I've said a lot of things. I know what I'm doing, and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people, and at the appropriate time I'll tell you who the people are. But my primary consultant is myself and I have, you know, a good instinct for this stuff."

I'm getting really tired of waiting for the big reveal where we all find out we've been Punkd. Enough - it's run its course - end it now!

LOL. He's like a parody of himself at this point.

[nursewife]

Well, that's rich.

[sparrowsong]

How can you hear words like this come out of your mouth and not realize how completely idiotic you sound??

[curbsideprophet]

Lol

I can't even laugh at this anymore. People are eating this shit up.

Anyone who thinks our foreign policy should just be "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! U-S-A! U-S-A!" will be totally fine with this.

But like.  Imagine if someone asked Obama a question, and instead of answering, he just said, "I have a very good brain."  Those morons would lose their shit.

Trump's speech pattern reminds me of Winnie The Pooh

I mean, if Winnie The Pooh were a megalomaniacal assface.

This should be embroidered on a pillow.

"I have a very good brain and I've said a lot of things."

This reminds me of a super grant proposal template I saw. Helpful for anyone writing an NIH proposal.

You can't even make this shit up. Jesus.

I have two competing thoughts.

1) SNL doesn't even have to write scripts. Just use direct quotations.

2) I kind of want Obama to get up on stage and just start quoting Trump when asked a question.

I so want no-fucks-Obama to do this.

Ok wait. I think I may be starting to speak Trump, and can maybe translate.

"I have at least 3 campaign advisers that have told me I need to have a team, and people have asked me this before. Far more than 3 people. So there are a lot of people with whom I've conferred about my team. As it stands, my current team is Me, Myself, and I. That's my team as it currently stands. My brain could occupy the 4th place on my team, as it is a very good brain."

I have never been happier to be beyond of the normal age range for the draft.

I can't believe that someone in the Republican Party would not consult experts in the field before making policies and proposals. I mean, that never happens in this party. They always rely on scientific experts, doctors, and other people with expertise in a given area before doing anything. I bet their voters are really going to be unhappy why they find out their guy just makes shit up without consulting reliable, credible experts on an issue of major importance.

Trump really is quite an aberration. No idea where he came from.

[DesertMoon]

Stop.

No.

Please.

Really stop.

[winecat]

If anyone else answered job interview questions like Trump does, they'd get laughed out of the room. But because that bullshit comes out of Trump's mouth, it's "terrific"??

[daisyn]

I thought he got his foreign policy info from "the shows"
