Patrick Lawrence: Notes of a Non-Voter
November 13, 2024
…A lot of the people who served in his White House — H.R. McMaster, Jim Mattis, the aforementioned Bolton, and on down a long list — were wholly out of phase with his professed plans. Why did he appoint them, many of those watching the Trump circus wondered?
I never did. He didn’t appoint these people: They were imposed upon him. I have ever since argued that Trump’s White House was the most opaque in my lifetime.
Understanding it required one to distinguish between what Trump did or proposed and what those around him did to undermine him when his plans ran counter to the Deep State’s interests.
I mentioned the North Korea talks. Bolton’s subterfuge in Hanoi is a singularly graphic case in point.
We cannot know just yet everyone Trump will have around him: He is just now accounting his first appointments. I hope it is not a case of either people who have no idea what they are doing — Tom Cotton, et al. — or people who know well what they are doing — Mike Pompeo, et al. — and you wish they weren’t doing it.
