    'Within months of Donald Trump becoming president, White House aides
    quietly let the public know that, behind the scenes, conditions were
    even worse than Americans realized. As regular readers may recall, it
    was in April 2017 when one presidential adviser said his job was to
    “talk him out of doing crazy things.”

    A few months later, another White House insider added, “You have no idea
    how much crazy stuff we kill.” A few months after that, then-Senate
    Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker said, “I know for a fact
    that every single day at the White House, it’s a situation of trying to contain him.”'

    'President Donald J. Trump in 2020 asked Mark T. Esper, his defense
    secretary, about the possibility of launching missiles into Mexico to “destroy the drug labs” and wipe out the cartels, maintaining that the United States’ involvement in a strike against its southern neighbor
    could be kept secret, Mr. Esper recounts in his upcoming memoir. Those remarkable discussions were among several moments that Mr. Esper
    described in the book, “A Sacred Oath,” as leaving him all but
    speechless when he served the 45th president.'
