I think it's a bit of a stretch to blame incidents like
these on whichever administration is in office. The recent
incidents on the USS Truman for example may have been
incompetence or some other failure of equipment that wasn't
_reasonably_ foreseeable or preventable. Without access to
the Root Cause Failure Analysis we can only speculate. As
much as I consider the existence of trump in the US white
house to be an existential threat to the US, he had nothing
to do with what happened on the USS Truman.

Crazy can sometimes be acceptable, while foolish is never acceptable.
