Bill's New Column
A View From Within
“
The best perk of my job is going to the White House. Magical place, no matter who is sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. I have been invited by Bush the Younger, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. Tremendous experience every time.
So it was last Wednesday that I was ushered into a meeting with President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The primary topic was Iran; a frustrating situation that will influence the midterm vote. To his credit, Mr. Trump knows I did not cheerlead the confrontation because I understand the mentality of political fanatics. Dealing with them rationally is almost impossible even though confronting Iran on nukes and terrorism is the right thing to do.
