How is Donald Trump qualified to be Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military?

When he knows absolutely nothing about foreign policy?

    He's over 35 years old and a native-born American citizen.

    If you want to live in a country where only "qualified" people are C-in-C, take your pick of any banana republic where the General of The Week is Chief Executive (until the next coup).

    My reading of the historical evidence suggests the constitutional Framers were very suspicious of military power, and wanted to be kept tightly under civilian control, even at the cost of some military effectiveness.

    He's not at all qualified, but his followers don't care because they think he'll get rid of the brown people.

    He's not
    But what he did do
    Was a hostile takeover of the
    Republican Party.
    He scares me...

  • A president's function is to provide philosophical direction. They can delegate the details. That's what a secretary of state is for. That's what generals are for.

    Foreign policy isn't rocket science. It just takes wisdom. Any intelligent person can easily grasp everything they need to know.

    All the U.S. needs is a president who is loyal to U.S. interests. The office has been occupied by traitors for decades.

    U.S. foreign policy has been a disaster because most its leaders are loyal to corporate interests and building a new world order, not the U.S..
