In reply to the discussion: In Cold Blood [View all]H2O Man
(73,536 posts)7. It's interesting that
Kelly decided to stay on. I know the White House reported that Trump asked him to, but I do not believe that was a factor -- if it happened at all. Kelly had been intent on bowing out this summer, and I was convince4d he would. I am under the impression that others in the military intelligence community lobbied for him to stay on, especially after Helsinki. They recognize that Trump is becoming dangerously unstable. And this, of course, led to Kelly having the intel heads at the recent press conference.

I agree. "In Cold Blood" is probably my favorite book and the film was quite good.

Your analytical comparison of DT & Dick Hickock is interesting - charming sociopaths - gift of gab

You and H2O Man are giving me a lot to think about. I don't know when I pegged him as an abusive SOB
