Deflecting the  accountability that comes with being commander-in-chief, Trump said on Fox News that the operation was something his generals “were looking at for a long time”; it was “something that was, you know, just — they wanted to do. And they came to see me and they explained what they wanted to do, the generals, who are very respected.” Then the so-called commander-in-chief declared “And they lost Ryan.”  There were so many ways that he could have taken the high road and spoken of bravery and sacrifice, but what came out of his mouth was self-serving finger pointing. If, during the Fox interview, he said what he read last night, in a speech written by someone else, he would have sounded presidential, but, speaking through the friendly Fox News megaphone he exposed the craven truth of his egocentric world view.
