(IMO) a scumbag liar - which is a trait he shares with the current leader of the free world. Completely disregard 99.999% of what these people say the second it comes out of their mouths.
He is trying to manipulate, form and control public opinion. That's all there is to it. The 2% of the people who believe what he says will spread it like a virus everywhere they go. The people who don't believe it will also repeat his outrageous BS over and over. This is an essential part of this kind of whispering campaign strategy.
Our foreign policy in the ME is primarily covert operations, military occupation and strong arm politics at this point. This administration does not believe in playing nice. They are a privileged class and taking what they want is their birthright.
