Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during Trump’s first term, tore into the administration’s handling of its relationship with Canada in a new Substack post.
“Canada is demonstrating, for every democracy watching, that the response to Trump’s bullying should be neither submission nor hysteria… but the calm construction of alternatives,” he wrote. “Our allies aren’t leaving because they hate America. They’re leaving because they miss us, and they can’t stand the bully who’s holding us hostage.”
You sure? He just told a crowd in North Carolina that their hurricane relief funds depend on the outcome of the midterms.
In my opinion, he is guilty of blackmail and extortion, regarding the people of North Carolina and many others. He is a despicable criminal enabled by his party and the administration, with no respect for the constitution, the law, the courts, congress, the senate, or anyone else, as far as I can see. But I don’t see that he is guilty of hostage taking, as described by Miles Taylor. And, as bad as he is, he is a small part of the problem for the people of the United States and the world.
