An ex-Homeland Security official who notably wrote an anonymous op-ed against President Donald Trumps first term has revealed that a number of White House staffers arent convinced the president is fit to serve in the Oval Office.
Miles Taylor part of the resistance against Trump 1.0 before joining 130-plus ex-GOP national security officials who ripped his ability to serve again referred to unnamed friends laying very, very low in the White House who share some of the same concerns he had about the president during his first term.
The man is still the same man, but worse and emboldened, he said as a guest on MeidasTouch Networks The Court of History podcast on Monday. Still deeply impulsive, but impulsive without checks and balances around him.
He added that those around the president arent trying to talk him out of doing bad things but instead are demonstrating fealty at every turn to the leader resulting in a variety of poor decisions.

(46,867 posts)Or what about this one? You get the call from preschool that your child hit their friend because they wanted to play with the same toy. What on earth is going on?
These moments are super common for young children because the part of their brain that exerts self-control hasnt fully developed yet. Thats right were not born with impulse control. So its not that your toddler is a nightmare its that they simply do not know or understand that they cannot always act on their desires at any given moment.
Studies show that children usually begin to develop self-control when theyre around 4 years old, with significant development of impulse control occurring from ages 10 to 11. We expect a lot from our kids, but it helps to remember that theyre brains wont be fully formed until their mid-20s!
Examples of impulsive behavior in young children can include:
Damaging things, like toys
Lying
Taking things from others
Emotional or physical outbursts
Overeating
Fighting with their friends
