Retired 4-star admiral and former Navy SEAL William H. McRaven—the man who oversaw the mission that killed Osama bin Laden—delivered a blistering assessment of President Donald Trump.
McRaven’s comments stood out not just for how direct they were, but for who they came from: a highly respected military leader warning about leadership, unity, and America’s standing in the world.

#Trump takes the biscuit, day after day, living in his own world surrounding by fawning acolytes. This latest remark is just staggering. You can't even say it's a "gaffe" - he means it.

“Good. I'm glad he's dead”, Trump on the death of Robert Mueller, who volunteered for Vietnam when his blue blood family connections could have got him a deferment, won a Bronze Star for valor, and a Purple Heart and who served F.B.I. director in the immediate aftermath of 911.

Diplomatic gaffe-ometer shoots straight to 100% with this one.
Holy cow, Donald, holster that mouth!

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

What happened to the England "advantage" just before the French try we just saw?
Surely we knocked on, and back we shd go for the penalty?
Not: "play on, France!"

Sadly, young Donald’s brilliant military career was interrupted by the unfortunate outbreak of the Vietnam War.

That cameraman who insists on standing in the try-scoring area behind England's line is going to get himself taken out in a moment!
Why do they allow people like that to float around in an active area of play??
Madness.

Kurt Schork - an iconic journalist, brilliant and modest.

My friend Kurt Schork of Reuters, killed in W Africa in 2000. I spent a day in Sarajevo in 1992 with him and John Burns of the NYT (who’s just died) debating the situation. We had strongly divergent views, but stayed friendly & positive. Now I’m the only one left.

ITV coverage still hasn't shown us why Tomos Williams was sin binned?
