Thought this was great.

White House officials have raised concerns that Donald Trump didn’t completely grasp the implications of ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program before he made a decision about its future.

Administration officials privately fretted that Mr Trump may have not understood exactly what effects rescinding DACA could have, according to a report from the New York Times.

Deport me if old

 

[CielTynave]

Change "scrapping DACA" to "anything" and it's still accurate.

 

[GinoFelino]

Jesus. Fucking idiot

Not you for posting in the wrong forum, btw

 

[ISee]

Trump's furry to undo everything Obama did (out of spite) lead to uninformed and stupid decisions. Trump further lacks the ability to understand the inner working of systems and to make rational decisions.

I'm surprised and shocked, not.

 

[Sadist]

Honestly, I think we should make a list of things Trump does understand. Would make for a short list.

 

[Azure Dream]

Remember when Obama's "inexperience" was such a concern for Republican leadership?

They just told him it was something Obama did, that was enough.

furries confirmed to be America's most terrifying weapon

800.000 people may get their lives ruined because of this.

Sheesh.

Sheesh.

Come on, he's still new to this...

You don't say.
Every Trump article could start with these words.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

This move was done out of racism, pure and simple.

 

[BigDes]

So the defense of the White House is that the president isn't evil he's just incompetent?

 

[ScientificPizza]

i'm so proud of donald trump for being the largest piece of shit on earth. his heartlessness and hatred are so disgustingly apparent in every decision he makes and i hope he dies a painful death

 

[Haunted]

:lol

it's got electrolytes

 

[Pejorative]

Go Donald..wow

This has been the defense for months.

 

[Human Trashcan]

I for one am shocked that Trump doesn't know what he's doing

 

[THe_DeiCiDe]

His impeachment speed run is off to an excellent start.

 

[BrassDragon]

This is BS. in 2016, he was grilled on Meet the Press about this very issue and accepted the consequences of his stance.

During an interview with Chuck Todd, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump said, "We have to make a whole new set of standards. And when people come in, they have to come in..." Todd then interrupted Trump, asking, "You're going to split up families. You're going to deport children." Trump replied, "Chuck — no, no. No, we're going to keep the families together. We have to keep the families together."

Todd then asked, "But you're going to kick them out?" Trump replied, "They have to go." Todd then asked, "What if they have no place to go?" Trump said, "We will work with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country or we don't have a country. Either we have a country or not."

The man has no compassion or charity in him. He can be both clueless AND cruel at the same time.

Shit Presidencies done quick

 

[finley83]

He's new to this, give him a chance

 

[Seesaw15]

 

[ChryZ]

His incompetence is cancerous.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

are you telling me the President of the United States has no idea what he's doing?!

 

[HazySaiyan]

It's like having an angry fucking chimp in charge. Both farcical and terrifying at the same time

 

[ponpo]

Even his with his bigotry, lack of political experience, etc., the fact that someone so unintelligent became president is the most shocking.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Of course not. What does Trump know?

I'm also skeptical about the story in the OP, but to be fair the interview in your quote doesn't make him look any more knowledgeable on the topic.

 

[jelly]

I don't believe it, he knew more or less what it would do, this is just embarrassing excuse levels.

For what it's worth, that sounds like he still doesn't know what he's talking about. I agree on him being both cruel and a dumbass though.

I don't believe it, he knew more or less what it would do, this is just embarrassing excuse levels.

That said, he knew enough about it to know he didn't want to associate himself with this move as much as possible.

 

[TatteredHat]

Directly elected presidency was a mistake.

 

[McLovin]

So he either is a heartless racist or he's blindly undoing everything Obama did. Reguardless of wether it's good or bad. He's an asshole either way.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Of course not. What does Trump know?

The Art of The Deal™

 

[Humidex]

Quelle surprise!

 

[Lego Boss]

Does anybody believe this?

Surely he is taking advice about how to do things before doing them?

Is it really feasible that someone like that would be able to maintain a capitalist empire without taking advice from experts?

I am really asking the question here, I can't see how this is possible and isn't it just more sabre-rattling from a media that disagrees with him, rather than based in actual fact (case in point, how can an administration have so many leaks for instance)?

 

[Marion Cobretti]

Someone put this country out of its misery.

 

[Apathy]

Here's the thing, I don't even believe that he didn't know, it's just the backlash has been even worse than he possibly could have imagined, and his tiny ego that feeds of praise and thinking people like him noticed how bad it is and now may be claiming he didn't know.

I don't want to tribute this to incompetence, it's far too easy of a way out when clearly everything we know if this idiot is that he is full of malice.

"more" sabre-rattling? Tell me more.

I think at this point it is fairly obvious it is both

Dude literally asks people what Obama did and does the opposite.

 

[vonStirlitz]

This man has access to the nuclear codes.

Ponder that.

Not being aware of the consequences isn't really a get out of jail card when we are all radioactive Super mutants.

You take a good long look at Trump and tell me he isn't a stupid idiot.

 

[Lego Boss]

I'm not in the US, so I don't have first hand knowledge of it. I just wonder how someeone can get to be at the position he is at and all he has done is 'oppose the previous incumbent'. It just sounds like the plot of a bad novel.

I am not saying this is not what is happening, but surely there are other influences that are fuelling this?

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

He knew it would make his base happy, nothing else matters.

 

[BrassDragon]

Fair point... I'm just exasperated that every time this administration makes a move, we have to go through the same song and dance: journalists do their background calls and all the anonymous sources sing the tune of 'we tried to do better but he doesn't take advice/doesn't understand/got suckered by another faction'.

I really don't care much for the court intrigue and the degree of madness in the king; they're still moving the kingdom in terrible directions.

Nope, this is literally how he thinks. He was even asking the European leaders what Obama did and said "we're not doing that anymore, then"

He's a thin skinned revenge-centered spineless little shit, and even that is an insult to fecal droppings everywhere.

 

[curi0usBystander]

Electoral college was a mistake.
