SCHIFF: I’m struck, in listening to General McMaster right now, George, about how much that secret strategy that the president had of defeating ISIS that we were going to hear about in 30 days, turns out to be the Obama administration’s strategy. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

We can certainly make improvements on what the last administration did. But they did lay some important building blocks. And I think that it’s going to be very different for this administration, in dealing with North Korea, to say that we’re going to renege on the nuclear deal with Iran, because those issues are also interconnected.
There never was a secret strategy to defeat ISIS. It is all a con, which is why it is so funny when the Trump White House claims that they have already done more to combat ISIS than Obama. Trump has no policies or plans of his own. He plans to take credit for strategies that Obama put in place while creating a false narrative about how hard he is working to save America.
Donald Trump is a phony who was able to bluff and bluster his way into the White House with a lot of help from his Russian friends, but now that he has to govern, the country is seeing that Trump is nothing more than a tweeting, golfing, empty suit who desperately wants to be Obama, but he doesn’t have the skills, talent, competence, or vision to be taken seriously.
The scam has been exposed. Trump’s got nothing, and Adam Schiff is making sure that every American hears about it.
