Opinion: Why I’m not worried about Trump without guardrails
LA TimesThen-President Trump sits with Army Lt. Gen. H.R. A favorite word Democrats use to argue against a second Trump presidency is “guardrails.” The argument goes something Donald Trump didn’t know what he was doing the first time around, and there were people who protected the republic against his worst instincts. McMaster’s book, “At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House,” in which he describes Trump’s Oval Office decision-making as chaotic, sycophantic and lacking in nuance. McMaster writes that Trump often pitted staff members against one another and said “outlandish” things in meetings, such as suggesting we bomb Mexican drug cartel facilities. Of course, the guardrails argument is often made in a vacuum, and in Trump’s case it lacks comparison with what’s been transpiring with the current occupant of the Oval Office, President Biden, and his vice president, Kamala Harris.
