Donald Trump, who claims to “know more about IS than the generals,” is now slamming the policy of letting IS know they were going to attack Mosul. His comment was “Patton is spinning in his grave,” concerning what he perceived to be telegraphing of military planning.
General Patton, known to speak his mind and a vocal Russia hater, wanted to turn his attack against the U.S. ally during World War II and was reprimanded for his comments. Patton must now be trying to leap out of his casket with regards to Trump’s love affair with Vladimir Putin and possible collusion with the dictator to intervene in the U.S. election. Could you just imagine the general’s comments if he had a Russia-loving American businessman turned reality TV star telling him how to run his army?
