Doing a Trump 

Used to describe an act of callow stupidity bereft of forethought against expert advice.
When British Gen. Montgomery decided to attack up Highway 69 toward Arnhem in 1944 he completely failed to appreciate that the road leading through the planned route was only two lanes wide, partly raised above a surrounding flat terrain of polder. The ground on either side of the highway was too soft to support tactical vehicle movement and observation would be seriously restricted in the Fall. He was doing a Trump when he made that decision and ignored contrary advice from the Dutch Military.
