Dan Rather on Trump: Dropping Bombs, Launching Missile Strikes ‘Doesn’t Make One Presidential’

RUSH EXCERPT:
RATHER: "So much of it saying now President Trump has established himself as, quote, presidential. Dropping bombs, having missile strikes doesn’t make one presidential. There’s an old story here and I , among others have a lot to answer for this in the press. That just because the president exerts himself as commander in chief, there’s a natural inclination and an unhealthy one to immediately say, boy, that makes him presidential or strong. It’s easy to drop bombs and easy to put missiles off. What comes after that, dealing with what comes in the wake of that is much more difficult. So, yes, I was critical of those and raised the question of those who said this makes Trump presidential. I gently and hope respectfully disagree with that. What makes you presidential is can you keep the peace. If it turns out he can, that’s a good move. We are in danger here. There’s a lot of flash points around the world, North Korea, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, South China sea. These are real powder kegs with a short fuse burning. Before we make decisions on being, quote, presidential, we need to see how it plays out."
