I seldom quote my father, since he was a taciturn engineer who worked in classified material throughout his career, but he said something to me that stayed with me from childhood:

“A good general never tells his men what to do; a good general tells his men what he wants, and lets them figure out how to do it.”

Donald Trump is a general. Rex Tillerson - like Mitt Romney - is a manager. Managers are upset by generals.

I think Trump has made some major mistakes, but that is his free-wheeling, everthing-is-negotiable style as a CEO. My concern is that he has overestimated the globalist Swamp’s willingness to Do the Deal.

I think these people are more ideological and criminal than Trump credits. He lives in the real world; those lifelong apparatchiks do not.

“”I think these people are more ideological and criminal than Trump credits. He lives in the real world; those lifelong apparatchiks do not.”

I think many will be in jail and some at GITMO, based on Graham’s questions to Justice K. Trump knows they are evil.

Nice quote from your dad!
