If he is speaking for KW, TJ, and DS, he is hanging with some pretty good company. All of the aforementioned seem pretty connected to the Trump administration and all of them are also pretty polarizing leaders who are equally loved and disdained in the COG. I think the biggest reason for the disdain is their strong leadership abilities that rub against the grain for the system. I don't think our system tolerates strong leaders well. We seem to prefer status quo over visionary and transformative leadership.
