you know, constant voice on the think tank space against all things Trump world, he penned a article, I believe it was during the Trump administration, where he called for this exact same structure to be set up to create, that we should not shy away from this sort of work or hide the fact that that we do them.

We need to turn the culture around so that when USAID can do this, they've got a much bigger and better network to do this. And we're now running into that.
