Two echo opinions from San Diego Union Tribune - Donald Trump is stupid
Trump drops the arms treaty- stupidity!
Re “U.S. announces withdrawal from INF nuclear arms treaty with Russia” (Feb. 1): From Ed Karesky Escondido, California
I just watched Gen. Colin Powell say publicly that “it is a major mistake for the president to withdraw from the nuclear weapons treaty President Reagan crafted in 1987, with the Russians.”
Powell, a retired four-star general with 35 years service, also served as national security adviser for President Bush (1987-93), commander of the U.S. Armed Forces Command (1989), chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and the U.S. secretary of state under President Bush (2001-06).
I recently watched a replay of Donald Trump on television saying again “we’ve built miles” of his “wall” and have “millions in appropriations to build it.”

Do any of the people, who make excuses for Trump, really believe these blatant lies, that he repeats on national TV?
Do his followers actually believe this man “knows more than the generals” and our chiefs of intelligence for the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency? Would you trust Gen. Colin Powell or Donald Trump more, with the safety of this country?

Re “Intelligence officials ‘misquoted,’ Trump claims” (Feb. 1):
Trump’s discrediting of our intelligence agencies was bad enough when he stood next to and sided with Vladimir Putinin Helsinki, stating that Putin strongly denied meddling in our 2016 election and that “I don’t know why it would be” Russia.
He has now again demeaned our intelligence chiefs who testified honestly and professionally to Congress about threat assessments as annually required. Since their facts differed from his delusions, he said they “should go back to school.” Then after meeting with them, he now says they “are on the same (read his) page” because they told him they were “misquoted” and that their live public comments were “fake news.” Huh?
When will Republican leaders grow a spine, place country over the 2020 election, and take Trump to task for continually disparaging his own hand-picked intelligence officials, which truly is a national security concern.
