John,

Why is Trump making the same mistakes as his predecessors? I thought Bannon understood Generational Dynamics and would be advising Trump away from these problems.

Has Kushner/Ivanka overpowered Bannon?

Google the 'Deep State'.

Well, the Afghanistan decision hasn't been made yet, so we'll see.

But politics trumps everything. Suppose the US did nothing, and there
was a military disaster in Afghanistan. Then the US would be blamed.
So sending 5,000 more troops would be the politically safe thing to
do. That's the way the world works.

There's no "deep state."
