A reporter accidentally exposed precisely how little Trump knows what he’s talking about and they should all start doing this now
It was a routine question which unintentionally exposed just how little – how very little – Trump knows about basically anything.
It was a member of the White House press with a query about Lt Gen Brett Sylvia, a high ranking Pentagon army strategist reportedly fired by Pete Hegseth for disclosing classified information to the public.
And what happened next didn’t speak volumes, it bellowed them.
"She’s got problems" — Trump gets asked about Lt. Gen. Sylvia (Brett Sylvia, a guy!) leaking classified information, and he’s so clueless that he thinks the reporter is talking about a woman with the first name Sylvia https://t.co/3iAxkauzTG

An insignificant error by itself, but one that devastatingly puts into context every other answer Trump gives at this sort of thing.
And these people put it best.
