Trump’s Team Of Sort Of Rivals

by Victor Davis Hansonvia National Review
Monday, February 20, 2017

Former president Theodore Roosevelt wrote an outraged 1,700 word review in Outlook, describing the exhibit as “a question of pathological rather than artistic significance”. The description seems equally suitable for the national security policymaking process in the Trump administration: it is a process of pathological not procedural significance.
