Lisa Trom @lisatrom1.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Just watched a special episode of the West Wing - Season 3 Ep 19. They featured clips of former Presidents and aides who spoke of the honor / sense of awe they felt working in the WH, and their sense of duty to the American people. What a sad contrast to what we see today. It’s on Max. 020
Lisa Trom @lisatrom1.bsky.social · 01/03/2025One thing I’m not seeing in discussion of whether yesterday’s WH attack on Zelensky was planned in advance is Trump’s years of experience on The Apprentice. He surely knows how to stage a scene and control optics. 000
