And of course he's making a dumb argument while admitting to having and showing off classified papers he can no longer declassify.

His argument is that the generals were saying Trump wanted a war with Iran, but because they had prepared an assessment of attack options, they must have wanted such a war themselves.

Do we think his staffers were just sucking up to him or are they just as dumb as they sound?
