Bob Woodward is continuing his tour of media appearances on his new book. He just appeared on MSNBC with Ari Melber who asked him to comment on Harris' readiness to tackle military and strategic decisions. Woodward answered by naming the current assigned National Security Advisor for Harris and mentioning that person's tenure and expertise dates back to the 1990s serving in the Clinton Administration. He then said:
Who is Donald Trump's national security advisor? His mouth. Whatever comes to him off the top of his head comes out and that becomes his policy.The last sentence is paraphrased, the first two are a direct quote.
Reminds me of the series of cartoons Gary Trudeau did in 1980 on the Carter/Reagan race under the storyline of "In Search of Reagan's Brain." The "bit" involved a special investigative series reported by ABC reporter Roland Hedley and "brought to you by Anacin" that gave the viewer an animated tour of the internal workings (and mis-workings) of Reagan's brain.
