2. Trump got McMaster and Cohn to articulate his tribalism - and it shows we can't trust those two

It was a Wall St Journal op-ed, so it's behind a paywall, but here's the tribalism:




It's no surprise The Atlantic called that "The Death Knell for America's Global Leadership":

"In an op-ed, the Trump administration’s “adults in the room” envision America in the image of its leader: selfish, isolated, brutish, domineering, and driven by immediate appetites rather than ideals or even longer-term interests."

Daniel Drezner's full op-ed in the Washington Post on this attitude: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/06/01/the-most-extraordinary-op-ed-of-2017/?utm_term=.2824bb596cb1

And David Brooks in the New York Times is clear this is not the conservatism he's looking for: Donald Trump Poisons the World
