The Hill, via Yahoo, has the “No Shit, Sherlock” headline of the week in “Former Trump Defense secretary: ‘I don’t see that the president is always getting good advice’,” an article by Tara Suter. Here’s some more of it:

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Sunday said he doesn’t think “that the president is always getting good advice” from his advisers.

“Do you trust that the president is being given advice by people who think their loyalty is to the Constitution?” NBC News’s Garrett Haake asked Esper — who served in President Trump’s first term — during Esper’s appearance on “Meet the Press.”

“I don’t see that the president is always getting good advice, and so I think that’s the question to ask. I think Republicans on Capitol Hill have asked that same question, ‘Is the president getting the best advice with regard to these strategic matters?'” Esper responded.

Ya think? The way things tend to go in the current White House, the Prez will probably double down on whatever his dim bulb advisors tell him to do, rather than surround himself with some really smart thinkers, like the successful presidents have done. The article continues:

A number of Republicans in Washington have expressed concern and frustration with some of Trump’s actions in recent weeks, particularly in Iran. Some Senate Republicans are “somber” and in “dismay” about the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, which was finalized earlier this week.

Esper on Sunday said he some “serious questions” about the deal, which seeks to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“I like the fact that we’ve extended the ceasefire. I like the fact that the strait is being opened up, that will provide economic relief to a lot of people, and I like the fact that we’re getting into nuclear talks,” he said. “But that said, when I look at the MOU there are many of the points that I have serious questions about and concerns about.”

Serious questions indeed. You can read more here.
