I think he had too many espressos… or Irish coffees. This manic performance was… not good:

Do all the “warfighters” in the Pentagon look at that guy and see a man they want to follow into battle? Are those who have to do the necessary work of logistics and intelligence within the military confident that he knows what he’s doing?
Does any American see that performance and feel confident that the national security of the United States is in the hands of a mature, stable competent leader?
Up until now I haven’t been literally afraid that we could come under attack of some sort or that a stupid mistake by the Trumpers could lead to an actual war but now I’m not so sure. The U.S. military leadership is in the midst of a chaotic meltdown and I think anything could happen.
