Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC: “Given the dire foreign-policy issues percolating around the world right now, who are you consulting with consistently so that you’re ready on day one [of your presidency]?”

“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things… My primary consultant is myself and I have a good instinct for this stuff.” (3/16/16)

This should have been the ultimate red flag—for Democrats, for Republicans, for voters, for foreign leaders. Donald Trump, who had been a real estate operator and reality TV star, fancies himself a foreign policy genius, who can navigate the world based on his “good instinct.”
