What might a second Trump White House be like? In his new book, At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who served as national security adviser to Donald Trump (for one year), characterizes Oval Office meetings as "exercises in competitive sycophancy" where advisers would greet him with lines like "your instincts are always right" or "no one has ever been treated so badly by the press."
Trump, meanwhile, would come up with crazy concepts, and float them: "Why don't we just bomb the drugs?" (Also: "Why don't we take out the whole North Korean Army during one of their parades?")
