Astonishment

The New York Times, from a story about Rex Tillerson:

Although he insisted he had never considered resigning, several people close to Mr. Tillerson said he has had to be talked out of drafting a letter of resignation on more than one occasion by his closest allies, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff. And they said he has regularly expressed astonishment at how little Mr. Trump understands the basics of foreign policy.
I’m astonished that he’s astonished.

I'm shocked––shocked!

How I wish one of the debate moderators had given each candidate a map and asked them to fill in the names of countries. Not that the results would have mattered to some voters.

Maybe it wouldn't have mattered, but it would have amused us.

Yes, something to think back on. :)
