‘A Warning’ Tells Us Trump Is Stupid, Crazy — And Dangerous


David Cay Johnston November 16, 2019



At DCReport we’ve scored an advance copy of the most anticipated book of the year, “A Warning” by “Anonymous, A Senior Trump Administration Official.” This book, which goes on sale Nov. 19, is as important, fascinating and easy to read as any book in our times.

Know Nothing

Trump blows off intelligence assessments because he clearly lacks the intellectual capacity to understand them, even though he claims to be the world’s top expert on what, by my count, are 22 subjects.
When Trump tries to speak on many of these subjects he fell flat because, in reality, he knows nothing about Middle East politics, military strategy, taxes or law.



He carelessly reveals national security secrets that make allies fearful of sharing intelligence with Washington, and he puts the lives of our spies in danger. And in the Oval Office, he crudely and angrily dismisses anyone who speaks in depth or with nuance while also declaring his complete trust in whatever Vladimir Putin tells him......................
