Trump Acted First, and His Critics Are Furious It Worked

from The Carrie Abbott Show · host Carrie Abbott

Bill Walton served at high levels in business, government, and the arts. He lays out a striking thesis: many of Trump's fiercest critics remain fixated on style, etiquette, and process while missing the underlying reality of power, risks, and actual outcomes. Using Iran as a backdrop, Bill argues President Trump's willingness to take risks and act decisively stands out in DC, where process, policy papers, meetings, and consensus seem to matter more. Intriguing and insightful.
