Trump on @hughhewitt asking abt Gen Soleimani: "it sounded like gotcha. You’re asking me names that, I think it’s somewhat ridiculous"

Trump says re @hughhewitt and FP: "I’ll know more about it than you will ever know. That I can tell you"

Basically if you ask fuckface Von Clownstick something he doesn't know, it's a gotcha question. pic.twitter.com/UAJQ21QFam

Has the Trump Army decided utter ignorance of foreign affairs is the pinnacle of wisdom yet?

This is embarrassing. Trump demonstrates that he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. https://t.co/d0cBqTWJMi

This @hughhewitt interview exposes Trump as vacant on foreign policy. Reads like a parody. Should scare but won't.http://t.co/m8cnmIqK1e

Saw the @hughhewitt @realDonaldTrump transcript. "I'm totally ok with giving him control of our nuclear arsenal," said no one who can read.

Hewitt also interviewed Carly Fiorina, asking her the same questions.
Fiorina gets the same questions Trump did, and handles it them…just a little bit better https://t.co/PMLTDc0Q4e

Fiorina: " I can get confused a bit between the name and group because they sound a bit alike sometimes… 1/2"
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) September 3, 2015
Fiorina 2/2: "But, I certainly know all those names both of the individual leaders and of the terrorist groups."
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) September 3, 2015
Fiorina: "Hamas is focused in Palestinian territories. Hezbollah focuses in Beirut and other places…both of them are proxies of Iran"
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) September 3, 2015
@CarlyFiorina didn't seem to have any problem with Hugh Hewitt's "gotcha" questions. Smart lady. http://t.co/NMlHQ5THva
