“Trump choked at the banks of the Rubicon, and he’ll probably pay for it.”
I don’t think he had much choice. His inner circle was filled with traitors. Without loyal generals he could trust he was stuck.
That only goes so far. He had four years to gut the bureaucracy, and he didn’t do it. The fact that people like Kristjen Nielsen had her job for so long was inexcusable. He could have at least gone down swinging, instead he pulled his punches.
