Michele Bachmann Advising Trump On Foreign Policy
Former Minnesota Congresswoman and Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann says she’s advising Donald Trump on foreign policy:
Tea Party firebrand Michele Bachmann says she is advising Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on foreign policy.
The former Minnesota congresswoman attended a fundraiser in the state for Trump on Saturday, where she revealed to the press that she has his ear on foreign policy.
“He also recognizes there is a threat around the world, not just here in Minnesota, of radical Islam,” she said, according to MPR News. “I wish our President Obama also understood the threat of radical Islam and took it seriously.”
“He’s a common-sense guy, not into political correctness,” Bachmann added, according to the Star Tribune.
Bachmann is already part of Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board, providing “support” to Trump on “issues important to Evangelicals and other people of faith in America.”
I feel so much better. Don’t you?
Sarah Palin is going to be soooooooo jealous.
Is she advising on real estate also? I’m sure her knowledge of real estate is as broad as her knowledge of foreign policy.
You can’t even see her crazy eyes in that photo…
Anyway, I don’t think she’s any worse on foreign policy than Trump himself is, so sure, why not?
Well, at least she’s not claiming to be advising on economic policy.
@Gustopher: Thank you! That made me feel better about this development.
Michelle Bachman is advising him? Yeah, sure, why not? It’s not like he listens to advice anyway.
@rachel: Why do you think that he doesn’t listen to advice? He says he doesn’t listen to advice, and he will never listen to the advice to shut up, but other than that? He’s a man without opinions or views on a lot of things — just pour in some opinions, add a little praise, and he will believe he thought of it.
He’s a very dumb man by all accounts.
@Gustopher:
That’s not ‘listening to advice’, that’s just being a gullible putz.
Each time I think his campaign cannot get any weirder, it does.
This is not comforting in the least, but I’ll bet it’s interesting having a Dominionist advising someone who is pretty amoral. I do hope there’s one sane person milling about this campaign who has the chops to write a decent book, because the fly-on-the-wall observations are going to be epic.
@Jen: If they were sane, do you think they’d be on his campaign? So I’ll look forward to the insane ramblings of some incoherent Lewandowski wanna be.
Meanwhile, in the actual real world:
ISIL empire crumbling under relentless pressure
You can’t make anything up anymore.
One thing is certain: In November we’re going to find out if America wants to board the crazy train.
Foreign country policy or foreign planet policy? The latter, I suspect she has some working knowledge
Moe, Larry or Curly were not available? I don’t understand Bachmann’s qualifications here. But, then again who in the Trump campaign is qualified? His national spokesperson was arrested for shoplifting, and only chosen because she is half-Black to supposedly appeal to minority voters. Trump’s Jefferson County Colorado campaign chairman is a 12 year old child. Trump’s Minnesota campaign staff were so incompetent that no one could fill out the ballot paperwork and organize the elector slate, where Trump nearly lost November ballot access. – This is probably the most amateurish Republican presidential campaign by a nominee ever, with Trump’s weaknesses as an effective manager able to delegate responsibility to competent persons is in severe trouble mode here. – The best campaign. not the best candidate always wins presidential elections, and this year it is certainly not the Trump Campaign that is managed like clockwork.
