Josh Rogin: The Leader of the Free World Is ‘Eliminating All of the Feedback Channels’ that Tell Him What Americans Do Not Want

EXCERPT:

ROGIN: “And the second thing he's done is he's admitted what his actual motivation was. He doesn't want to hear it. He doesn't really care if you report bad things about him. He doesn't want them to be in his face. He doesn't want it at his desk, in his room, in his office. And he's built a cocoon around himself where nobody ever tells him no, where his reality is just agreed to, whether it matches the reality that the rest of us are living in. And that has its own danger, because we have a leader of the free world who is eliminating all of the feedback channels that might tell him that, hey, the American people really don't like the Iran war; hey, the American people really do care about the Epstein files; hey, the American people really don't think the economy is good. And so penetrating that bubble of Trump's brain and his awareness, really important, and I think that actually took a hit today."
