Good for you! Myself, I agree with you that Chamberlain is a great model to understand Trump.

Pretends to be a pacifist while buying time to strengthen the national economy to fight a big war everyone knows is inevitable because everyone wants it.

FDR is also a great model for Trump to understand the political levers to crush both an unelected and disloyal deep state and legitimate opposition.

However, may I also recommend you read a history book that doesn't bracket the world wars?

Of course he is, he's a narcissist. A narcissist whose legitimate orders were disobeyed by the military and who has been shot at with the security state high on many people's suspect list.

A cagey narcissist.

But there was a very specific allegation that Trump is asking "civil servants" who they voted for. A claim that is, not only, unsubstantiated, but that deals with a very specific council that, above all others, serves at the president's behest.

May I add that the NSC has been a nest of murderous assholes who draft the infamous kill-list that included a US citizen that Obama bragged of killing (and his underage son)?

These people belong in a crime tribunal, not next door to the Oval Office.
