Everybody knows that Trump doesn't very much care about the issues in and of themselves.
He likes to flex his muscle.
He likes to stride the globe like a giant.
And at that point,
After the successes he scored in Gaza, so much of a success that he thought he would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for it.
I should say apparent success because the genocide, as I said, is a slow motion genocide, but it continues.
And then what you might call, using biblical language, the Immaculate Coup in Venezuela.
And then into that situation, there was a informational void around the president because he knew all of his appointees were sub-mediocre yes-men.
In fact, that's why he appointed them, because they were sub-mediocre yes-men.
He wanted people who could never make him look, you know...
pale beside them.
I actually think he was not happy with those pictures of JD Vance walking erect up the staircase because, oh, he's trying to outshine me.
I mean, that's how Trump thinks.
He's a child.
He's a child.
So there was an informational void.
because he was surrounded not with, as Lyndon Johnson, the best and the brightest, not as with George Bush Jr., Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the lustrous neoconservatives, very smart guys, very smart guys.
He was surrounded with Jared Kushner,
Steve Woodcoff, Pete Hegseth.
You know, Pete Hegseth, he has more oil running through the strands of his hair than oil passing through the Straits of Hormuz on any one week.
