Deny Everything
The quotes attributed to Trump in that Atlantic piece are just insane: "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had", "You guys [American soldiers] are all just killers", "It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!" [arguing why he should stiff the family of a murdered soldier whose funeral he'd offered to pay for]. It's all just lies, they'll say. People who say these things about Trump (people like his former chief of staff, other chief of staff, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Defense Secretary, other Defense Secretary, Vice President, Secretary of State, other Secretary of State, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of Education, communications director, other communications director, other other communications director, various advisors, personal lawyer, White House lawyer, etc.) are just disloyal, deranged, and bad. (And Trump staffing his administration with so many such people reflects badly on anyone other than Trump himself.)
The whole thing is insane. It's insane this election even seems so close. And seems on pace to get even crazier. And for all I know it's just a lead-in to another nightmare Trump administration. (Looking back through my old posts a bit reminds me of just how chaotic it was, and also how much more I had to say in my writing.)
