Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Self-restraint, which is a choice, is all that separates armistice and war.”
What, Mattis wondered, made Trump think anyone could make it alone in the world? What reading of history, what intellectual thought could give a person any confidence in that? A country always needed allies, he was sure. A person always needed allies. And this was the tragedy of Trump’s leadership and the bottom line: “It was inexplicable to think otherwise. It was indefensible. It was jingoism. It was a misguided form of nationalism. It was not patriotism.”
When his performance as president is taken in its entirety, I can only reach one conclusion: Trump is the wrong man for the job.
Beep!
Wow.”
