You beat me to it. Sounds like Nixon at his best.
A good tag team is hard to come by.
It requires people you can trust and who know the drill.
Nixon had one in Kissinger.
Trump seems saddled with people he can’t trust ... but is he really? That could be part of the game ... and if you’re into Q is.
When I talk about people he seems to not be able to trust but really can I’m not saying I believe in something as directed and covert as Q Anon is happening and I’m certainly not talking about the deep state weasels who are relative to Trump what the McGovernites were once to Carter (Carter wasn’t up to the game the way Nixon was, but what he might have achieved as the last push back of the old Democrats from before LBJ and McGovern ... before many finally left for the RNC with Reagan ... was curtailed by the very sort of people who now ARE the DNC, the sort of people the anticommunists were fighting to prevent, who he could never trust and who could never be trusted and should never be trusted).
