"Bill Barr is inserting himself into politics again. And he's doing it in the best way to get fawning media coverage — sniping at his former boss, President Donald J. Trump. Barr issued a statement about Trump:
He does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system. He will deliver chaos, and if anything lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be.
The doctor's diagnosis is that Trump lacks the temperament or wisdom to deliver on his promises. Okay, fine. But before we accept his advice, let's assess his expertise on the subject.
Is Barr saying that another Trump presidency would somehow be different from the last?
In his last term in office, Trump provided
- Middle East peace progress via the Abraham Accords,
- energy independence,
- secure borders,
- economic prosperity,
- enhanced national security — confronting threats and strengthening NATO, and
- exposing that the D.C. swamp was working against the wishes of the self-governed — perhaps his greatest accomplishment.
Is Barr saying Trump doesn't have the discipline to deliver any of that — again?...
