I found it hard to believe Noah’s claim that he actually liked Trump’s refusal to staff the State Department. He wrote an entire article on how awful the administration’s understaffing could end up being!
Also, I’m very disappointed that they ended the podcast on an upbeat and hopeful note. Whatever happened to the crushing morosity that we know and love?
The problem is the under-staffing of political appointees. Most government workers are Democrats, and without Republican leadership, will not vigorously advance Republican goals.
Noah is too young to have written a non-fiction book about anything, not to mention to make authoritative comments about world-historical events. Forgive me if I choose to read someone with more gravitas and real-world experience, such as Plato. Youth is over-rated.
