President Donald Trump thinks differently than any client he has ever had, often contradicting common wisdom and then seeing his way work out in the end, former White House counsel Don McGahn said Friday at a conference of conservative lawyers and scholars.
Others will tell the president that something is impossible. Nevertheless, the president will pursue it, "but then it works," McGahn said at a conference of Florida chapters of The Federalist Society.
"He goes through a decision-tree faster than anyone I've seen, to get where he thinks the situation is going to go," McGahn said during a question-and-answer format with Jan Crawford, CBS News' chief legal correspondent. "He thinks differently than anyone else I've represented."
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was scheduled later Friday to address the group, gathered at a Walt Disney World resort.
McGahn joined Trump's 2016 campaign and was named White House counsel when Trump assumed office. He played key roles in the nominations of two U.S. Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, as well as scores of other federal judges. In Trump's administration, 187 federal judges have been confirmed to the bench in what many see as a transformation of the judiciary toward a conservative bent. Many of the judges have been suggested by The Federalist Society.
During Kavanaugh's confirmation process, Trump never considered withdrawing the judge's nomination when it was threatened by accusations of sexual assault from when Kavanaugh was a young man, McGahn said.

He remade the skyline of New York - among mobsters and corrupt pols.
He worked alongside the crews in construction in Cincinnati.
Yeah.
He thinks differently.
That’s why we voted for him!
Trump is America’s first CEO.
He is NOT a Politician.
Successful CEOs are like that — ACTION, ACTION and MORE ACTION. You can course-correct after mistakes. Avoid the dreaded political ultra-caution and paralysis by analysis.
It is no surprise to anybody who has worked in great corporations under great CEOs. Most of us knew going in what he was going to be like.
He also slowed the socialist decline of the U.S. Through policy decisions, EO’s, judicial appointments, and tax laws. We desperately need this man for 4 more years!
It is so refreshing to have a president with courage, sagacity, and determination to do the right thing.
He has exposed many of the previous presidents for the weak, deceptive and feckless people they were.
Thank God he thinks differently.
Except for when it comes to medical care...
And the best part is he will never be a politician. Could it be that is while politician hate him? He’s not part of the club and doesn’t want to be.
He will be the first President to leave the White House poorer than when he entered it.

-- evil, filthy, two-faced, self-serving, backstabbing, cowardly D.C. politician scum.

Dunno. Grant and Truman were impecunious when their presidential tenures concluded.
Have many not understood yet that Trump never gives up! Win win win. He is unlike most people.
“We desperately need this man for 4 more years!”
I agree.
2016 was an existential election, and he pulled it off (thank God!).
These DC people only think one way and do everything one way
