Donald Trump was unaware his former national security adviser Michael Flynn was working as a “foreign agent” when he gave him the job, according to his press secretary.

“I don’t believe that was known,” said Sean Spicer, when asked by reporters at his regular press briefing on Thursday.

This is the national security adviser. The person who is supposed to be at the forefront of US national security at every level. Trump hired him while not even realizing he had to register as the agent of a foreign power.

The total incompetence is simply unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

I would cultivate an appearance of incompetence if I were trying to pull of something that I was aware was illegal. I would rather look inept than go to jail. Just saying......

How do you retroactively file?

Also, Flynn should be prosecuted under military law.

I am still simply baffled. How he could not know something this obvious is insane.

This has to be the dumbest president of all time. And yes, I know GWB was president.

Funny thing is, this is not the most incomprehensible thing he has done.

Extreme vetting may still have a few bugs to work out.

"But give him a chance". I'm sure any day now some conservative out of millions is going to take responsibility for putting these clowns in charge.

Sean looks like he's aged a good 10 years or so in just over a month at his new job :eek:

Trump supporters don't care that he is selling out this country.

Why does Trump hate America?

It is kind of amazing that you just claim you are competent. You don't have to actually be comment.

The fact that any conservatives are defending this clown shows how morally and intellectually bankrupt they are.

Actually, I think there is another way to look at it, that conservatives are really protecting a much larger basket of moral concerns that liberals are. Liberals are concerned mainly about justice and equality and so are conservatives but to a lesser degree. They are also concerned about group cohesion and the ethical values embodied in their particular group, things like respect for authority, group allegiance, law and order. What will happen to the US from a conservative perspective is liberals bring chaos and anarchy to the table, destruction of religious values, respect for authority, etc. For conservatives, immoral liberals will destroy the country so their resistance to losing Trump is a moral issue of saving the country with other concerns about him falling farther down the list. Believe me, there are many so called liberals who if in power would cause all that to happen. The fear of an authoritarian right creates an authoritarian left and I think we feed that by demonizing them like they demonize us. It is much easier to destroy than to build and I think, a big mistake to dismiss all of their concerns.
