“He just talks without thinking and he should have taken advice.
“First and foremost, he should have sent his best wishes from the United States to the people of Lebanon, he then should have said what he was going to do to help, he then should have said I’m going to seek advice from my senior officials and will be making a statement later.
“Later is not something President Trump goes in for.”
