The Atlantic: “How well do we know Donald Trump? Pretty well, it would seem. Nobody has ever accused the outgoing president of possessing a complex personality. His behavior in office confirmed the common view, barely disputed even by his allies, that he is a shallow narcissist, blind or indifferent to common decencies, with poor impulse control and a vindictive streak. His futile attempt to litigate away electoral defeat may appall you, but it probably doesn’t surprise you. Still, just because we know bad things about the 45th president, don’t assume that there’s nothing bad left to find out. There’s always more to learn, and it’s seldom reassuring.”

“The outstanding questions are too many to count. How close did we come to war with North Korea when Trump threatened to rain ‘fire and fury’ on Kim Jong Un? After Trump decided instead to become the first president to meet with Kim, how close did Trump come to agreeing to remove U.S. troops from the Korean peninsula? Exactly how much revenue did Trump properties collect from the federal government during his presidency? How much from people seeking to influence Trump’s presidency? Who has received promises from Trump that they’ll be pardoned? Did Trump promise in advance to commute Roger Stone’s sentence? Did White House aides observe signs of mental decline in Trump related to aging? Precisely how much money does Trump owe, and how much of it is owed to people or banks linked to Vladimir Putin? Which companies did Trump steer business to, and did he violate any laws in doing so? What did Trump say in private about specific white-supremacist groups that supported him? What private agreements existed between Trump and his attorney general, William Barr, to advance Trump’s political interests? We may not learn the answers to all these questions. But we’ll likely learn a lot more than we know now.”
