RIP. President Trump could have used a few men like George Shultz. He got weak imitations.

RE: President Trump could have used a few men like George Shultz. He got weak imitations.

It says in the article: “An economic advisor to former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shultz was one of many Republican establishment figures who resisted Donald Trump’s rise to the presidency.”

Was it Shultz who was said to have a tiger tattooed on his hindquarters?

George Shultz was loyal to the President he served. Trump didn’t have many like that.

God rest his soul, he was a sucker for a pretty face. He was taken in by Elizabeth Holmes’ Theranos scam. Saw his grandson (whom he got a job at Theranos) on TV saying that he tried to warn Grandpa that Holmes was running a Ponzi scheme, but Gramps was a believer.

“Shultz was also outspoken on climate change. In a break with the Trump administration, he joined another former secretary of State, James A. Baker, in calling for a carbon tax on oil, natural gas and coal to discourage the burning of fossil fuels.”

Exactly. A Cold War Patriot who completely lost his way after the Cold War victory. A good representation of the moral, financial and political collapse of the Old Republic over the last 30 years.

I wonder who she will marry next for husband #4 since she always needs a man quickly after the current one dies.

Too bad he ended his public life so poorly.
