Todd Talk | Trump, Surprise, and Why Results Matter More Than Optics
A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.
My friends, yesterday a journalist from Japan asked Trump why Japan was not informed in advance of the attack on Iran.
Now before I give you Trump’s response, remember this: the vast majority of politicians care more about optics than outcomes. Image matters more to them than protecting the free world. Pathetic, I know.
Trump’s response was vintage Trump. He said, “We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor? You believe in surprise, I think, much more so than us.”
Trump then explained the importance of surprise in the operation.
Say what you will about his style, but I’d rather politicians focus on results than be obsessed with appearances. The world is safer when actions matter more than image.
