Trump paused call with Putin to ask what New START Treaty was.

[dixiegrrrrl]

his by now infamous penchant for NO briefings forced him to ask DURING the call.

When Putin raised the possibility of extending the 2010 treaty, known as New START, Trump paused to ask his aides in an aside what the treaty was, these sources said.
Trump then told Putin the treaty was one of several bad deals negotiated by the Obama administration, saying that New START favored Russia.
Trump also talked about his own popularity, the sources said.

The White House declined to comment. It referred Reuters to the official White House account issued after the Jan. 28 call, which did not mention the discussion about New START.

It has not been previously reported that Trump had conveyed his doubt about New START to Putin in the hour-long call.

" so, gonna call a head of state, one that we have history of tricky dealings, and fake my way thru the conversation, except for the bragging bit, as usual. don't tell me anything about anything before the call, I know everything, I am the world's smartest man and I have words and thoughts."

2. "The phone call with Putin has added to concerns that

Trump is not adequately prepared for discussions with foreign leaders."

No shit! Really?

Sounds like his handlers don't know what they are doing either. Previous presidents get a briefing before these calls are made.

3. We should all tweet that Hillary already knows what START is. nt
