Rummy endorses Trump: ""We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are..."
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/06/23/donald-rumsfeld-donald-trump-clinton/86280248/
Former Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he's "clearly going to vote" for Donald Trump for president, calling Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, "unacceptable."
"The way I think of it is this," Rumsfeld said Wednesday night on Fox News Channel's On the Record with Greta Van Susteren. "On the Democrats' side, we have a known known. On the Republican side, we have a recent entry, who's a known unknown."
That line, of course, was a play on a famous series of statements uttered at a Pentagon briefing in February 2002 in response to a question about whether there was evidence Iraq had tried to supply terrorists with weapons of mass destruction.
"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know," Rumsfeld said then. "We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know." Trump, apparently, falls into the second category, according to Rumsfeld.
