EXCERPT:
ACOSTA: “I mean, I don’t know if we’re going to talk about this next, but the other thing that is pretty damning that comes out of this book goes back to the Iran issue. He was warned repeatedly in those sessions, 'You know, be careful of going after Iran. This is going to blow up in your face.' He proceeded anyway. And it’s because of the other revelation that’s pointed out in this book. He thinks of himself as a Mao, as a Caesar, as a Napoleon. He. He sees himself as all-powerful. And to your point, Stephanie, yes, he does kind of have a cult around him in that White House these days. There aren’t any more John Kellys or James Mattises anymore. They just don’t exist. And so it’s down to, you know, the kool-aid drinkers and the next of kin."
