WASHINGTON — Senior Pentagon officials have privately expressed suspicions that President Donald Trump’s understanding of military affairs may largely be based on 1980’s action films, sources confirmed.
Trump reportedly called the Pentagon last week to inquire about a recently-sighted Russian spy ship off the East Coast, and asked whether it was powered by a top-secret naval propulsion system which its disillusioned captain may secretly intend to deliver to the United States in a brazen act of defection.
The call was the latest in a string of statements from Trump since January that suggest his military policies may align with various national security experts, such as Dutch from "Predator," and Maj. Scott McCoy from "Delta Force."
