President
Donald Trump could be a character created by James Joyce based on the way he
thinks and communicates.
That’s
the view of an unnamed national security expert, as reported by General Michael
Hayden, a head of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency under former president
George W. Bush.
In
an interview published in the May 6, 2018, New
York Times Sunday Magazine, Hayden was asked what it was like for analysts
to brief a president who ignores intelligence with which he disagrees and
embraces information that suits his policy needs.
