President Trump's National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien on Monday
invoked Ronald Reagan "looking down on us with a knowing smile" in a
Washington Post opinion column
under the headline, "President Trump is committed to defending the
U.S., and Russia knows it." The President, wrote O'Brien, "has
demonstrated to Russia that he means what he says about putting 'America
First'."
This is a claim Trump himself
has made repeatedly throughout his four years in office. But it is one
that several former senior advisers reject. In fact, when interviewing
current and former Trump administration officials for my upcoming book, "The Madman Theory: Trump Takes on the World,"
I found that explaining Trump's deference to Russia was one of the most
difficult questions for them to answer. And even they acknowledged the
record fails to back up the President.
