Former Defense Secretary Gates questions 'intellectual acuity' of older politicians like Trump, Biden and Sanders
Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates questioned the"intellectual acuity" of the three men in their seventies dominating the 2020 election discussion: Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
On Sunday, Gates doubled down on comments he made about Biden in his 2014 memoir, saying that while he is "impossible not to like," the former VP and six-term senator has also been wrong on"every" foreign policy and national security issue in his 40-year career. Gates said it is"problematic" the country has placed a trio of septuagenarians atop the 2020 field of candidates.
"I gave up predicting the future after leaving the CIA," Gates said, adding that he is"disappointed Republicans don't stand up [to Trump] more often for traditional Republican values" including fiscal discipline, internationalism, and trade. In regard to China, Gates said the real problem is the"structural imbalance" in the way the two countries work with each other, and he commended the Trump administration for trying to take on the issue.
