Steve Pieczenik on General Mattis, Trump Personality Traits
Intelligence insider Steve Pieczenik provides an analysis of the departures of Generals John Kelly and James Mattis from the Trump administration. Pieczenik describes Trump's personality through a cycle of "idealization and realization," where he initially over-praises associates before turning on them. The report suggests Kelly could no longer handle Trump's erratic behavior, which Pieczenik nicknames "Woody Woodpecker."
