Captain Chaos ...

As most intelligent people know, The Donald is Captain Chaos to the max, As long as everything centers on him, it's ok, as long as people's lives are not on the line, a situation not the case with people in combat, where coolness of temperament, combined with battlefield competence, is key to keeping people alive under the most trying conditions possible. With this information is factored into the equation, people in the know know that Trump is not qualified to be commander in chief in any way, shape or fashion.

To whit.

Amid threats spanning the globe, from nuclear proliferation to mined tankers in the Persian Gulf to terrorist attacks and cyberwarfare, those in command positions monitor the president’s Twitter feed like field officers scanning the horizon for enemy troop movements. A new front line in national defense has become the White House Situation Room, where the military struggles to accommodate a commander in chief who is both ignorant and capricious.

It gets better ...

I. HE DISDAINS EXPERTISE

Trump has little interest in the details of policy. He makes up his mind about a thing, and those who disagree with him—even those with manifestly more knowledge and experience—are stupid, or slow, or crazy.

As a personal quality, this can be trying; in a president, it is dangerous. Trump rejects the careful process of decision making that has long guided commanders in chief. Disdain for process might be the defining trait of his leadership. Of course, no process can guarantee good decisions—history makes that clear—but eschewing the tools available to a president is choosing ignorance. What Trump’s supporters call “the deep state” is, in the world of national security—hardly a bastion of progressive politics—a vast reservoir of knowledge and global experience that presidents ignore at their peril.
