As we told you yesterday, former members of the Obama administration expressed their displeasure with President Trump, in this case for his tweeting the American flag after news of Soleimani’s death was announced:
Samantha Power, Tommy Vietor & Ben Rhodes among Obama admin alumni who did NOT like Trump’s American flag tweet after Soleimani was killed https://t.co/UqmaiBzEhY

But Rhodes’ criticism also extended to concerns about Trump’s ability to handle the situation and awesomely as Rhodes obviously likes to think the Obama administration dealt with these kinds of situations:
Does anyone think Donald Trump is equipped to handle a complex, enduring, international crisis that could play out in many countries and demand expertise, rigorous process, and judicious decision-making?
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) January 3, 2020
Who wants to tell him?
The Trump administration identifies and eliminates terrorists. Your guys sent them a cargo plane full of cash. So yes, I think Trump is equipped to handle things. Take a seat, junior. https://t.co/RXr1oUCqLn

This tweet brought to you by the guys who gave you the Iran deal, sent them hundreds of billions of dollars, thereby subsidizing their terrorism, watched ISIS grow while doing nothing, and helped create the failed state in Libya. https://t.co/bqwRqbIETL

Sometimes we wonder.
I think we should hire a failed novelist who openly lied to the American people while pushing bribery of a terrorist regime to handle this https://t.co/tr7tg90mKm

We don’t recall much “pen and phone” criticism of Obama from the Dem crowd that’s now demanding congressional approval for everything.
