Put a bunch of ignorant, misinformed, incompetent morons in positions of authority, gut their departments of experienced professionals and force everyone to worker longer hours then this kind of chaos is inevitable.Trump has no concept of effective management and that’s why he’s surrounded by incompetence and failures of policy.

A key line from late in the article:

“The interagency process has atrophied under Mr. Trump, who has dramatically shrunk the size of the National Security Council during his second term, even as the portfolio of international crises has grown.”

What a catastrophic mess.
