Earlier tonight I modified Secret Service Failure to include an interview of author Carol Leonnig by The Bulwark’s Tim Miller. I’ve seen the first quarter of dozens of videos with him; they’re usually loud and I find them a bit repetitive, they take 90 seconds worth of information and try to make it last fifteen minutes. I keep watching because he does cover things that interest me.
There has been a lot of talk about Trump’s mental state but it’s been fragmented, delivered as an aside in the midst of more general reporting, which all the various news outlets have done. I had never seen Will Saletan before this but I am officially a fan. This is a quiet, linear, step by step examination of where Trump’s head has been and where it’s going. Unlike the other Bulwark videos, where I cut away at the 25% mark, I listened intently to this all the way through.
