But when it gets in the way of what he wants and what his administration wants, there are higher priorities than upholding the Constitution, which he took an oath to do.

I think he'd be very skeptical of him. He would think of him as...

So he had a kind of nuanced, complex view of what it would take to bring more people like him out of the decline into which they'd fallen in places like his hometown. And so when he published Hillbilly Elegy, which is the story of his upbringing, his childhood, his youth – And it's a remarkable book. But his role became, when Philbilly Elegy came out, it became to explain...
