With extremely important decisions, shouldn't those most affected know ahead of time?
That is before you announce it to the entire world?
If that decision deals with the soldiers and the diplomats, and you are the President of the United States, you should tell the heads of those departments ahead of time before you announce it to the entire world. That is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of courtesy and respect for those who have to carry out the decision. The leaders in the Defense Department and the State Department have served a lifetime to the U.S.A. Don't they need to know what is going to happen, if possible, to ready the rest of their people for the impact of an important decision? Not treating the Defense Department and the State Department with the respect that these leaders deserve is in my opinion one of the stupidest things that Trump has done. Could be the stupidest. If he doesn't respect the generals and the ambassadors, and those who work for all of us, then who does he care about? (besides himself)
