It's easy to overcomplicate this. But the core issue is that Donald Trump gives every indication of having no idea what he is talking about.

Another quote from the Vox article about how vacuous Trump is on Iran:

"Trump wants to sanction and punish Iran, but he also wants to open up more trade with it, all within the same paragraph. This is the reasoning of a person who lacks something more fundamental than detailed policy knowledge — he lacks an understanding of how foreign policy itself, at a fundamental level, functions."


I think Trump's campaign song should be "Pretty Vacant" by the Sex Pistols.

Based on the video she was the aggressor and the pepper sprayer was far out of line in response. The girl has balls and my respect. The PSer comes across as cowardly.
