Don’t Count on ‘Trump’s Generals’ to Save Us

Matt Bai: “The current thinking goes, the administration seems to be in the hands of strong and serious-minded patriots who can fill in a map without help…  But even if these guys can keep Trump’s presidency from immediately derailing, that doesn’t mean they’re likely to steer it in the right direction.”

“When it comes to addressing the country’s problems and divisions in a thoughtful way, though, the only guy who can do that is the president himself, and I don’t see it happening, no matter how many square-jawed warriors surround him or how many slogans they latch onto. Trump’s the principal, and that’s the reality.”
