Former Trump administration Homeland Security staffer Miles Taylor warned Thursday on MSNBC that President Trump was dangerously unprepared for the Iran crisis, claiming the situation is "so much worse" than it appears.
Taylor accused Trump and his team of creating a false veneer of strategic planning while engaging in "coin-flipping instead of checkers."
He compared current events to the first Trump term's near-nuclear war with North Korea, when Cabinet members feared Trump might accidentally trigger nuclear conflict. Taylor revealed Homeland Security conducted actual nuclear contingency planning due to concerns about presidential recklessness. He highlighted the extreme danger of current circumstances, noting Trump's own envoy confirmed Iran possesses fissile material for potentially 11 nuclear weapons and could create dirty bombs.
Taylor emphasized Trump's administration shows no forward planning, stating "these guys aren't thinking three inches in front of their faces."
