Oh yeah. I’m trying to remember which of Nixon’s lieutenants told the Joint Chiefs, “The president is depressed and drinking heavily. If something militarily significant happens, call me.” I don’t consider that terribly out of line. During Vietnam, he was talking wild stuff including nuclear weapons to convince the Russians and others that he was crazy. It worked, better than he hoped even.
