Isn't This Terrifying ?
I know the guy can't know every detail of the job after only a few weeks, but this I find terrifying.

He didn't know what it was, but then after a quick aside he tells Putin it's all wrong. One wonders why he didn't prepare for the call a bit better.
Of course, it may be Reuter's false news.

//The Reuters reported were told of the contents of the call by people who were briefed by administration officials, and who saw notes taken of the call.//
I can’t see a problem with him asking for clarity of the details – it’s right that he should - but is this story a bit iffy? It is claimed that it comes from a seemingly ‘third-hand’ unnamed source and I can’t find it on Reuters website, or on Sky News, or BBC news.

Trump has advisers but he will not take any notice of them.He still thinks he is running his own business and can just fire anyone who does not instantly agree with his orders.
If this story is only part true then Putin and his ministers must be turning cartwheels and jumping for joy!
They now know for certain that an idiot with no grasp of foreign policy is running their largest rival for world power.

Yes, definitely terrifying !
It was said before the election that this scenario was the most potentially serious of a Trump Presidency. The only reassuring aspect is, that as Trump and Putin are such bosom buddies, its unlikely that Trump will be aiming his weapons at him. Would that we could say the same about North Korea, Iran, etc.
Real life is getting more like "Saturday Night Live" every day.

Whilst the lack of preparation for the call is a concern, and suggests DT leads by the seat of his pants making decisions as he goes, I think one can make too much of it. It's not unreasonable to check things one isn't sure of before making a statement. Anyway, that'll teach Putin to get Trump elected. He's made his bed and now he'll need to lie in it.
OG....you have touched on the unacceptable aspect here.
He should have been prepared. He clearly wasn't but still made the call anyway.
There must have been much chortling in the Kremlin that day.....no wonder Putin looks so confident....he hasn't had to deal with anybody this stupid for a very long time.

// How do we know Vladdy didn't have to check with his advisors??//
if Trump had to then Vladdy must've
And Reagan used to ask for advice - - like
"what IS my name ?" and asking Princess Di
Is your name Princess David ?
and President Wilson ( of Amerikee) in 1921
he couldnt ask for advice ( because he had had a stroke) and so the country was run by Mrs Wilson and the doctor
