From @theatlantic.com profile on "Trump's Real Secretary of State" Steve Witkoff: “In recent months, he told me, he has read many books and watched Netflix documentaries on world conflicts (including Turning Point: The Vietnam War).”
Steve Witkoff, Trump's chief foreign-conflict negotiator, says that if he'd done what Henry Kissinger did, and prolonged the Vietnam War for Nixon's political purposes, he "couldn't live with himself." (From excellent @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social profile.)

The @netflix docuseries "Turning Point: The Vietnam War" makes extensive used of the secret White House we study at the Miller Center. Our leaders knew they could not win the war, but deceived the public for political reasons.
