"What luck for rulers men do not think."
The Presidential hand gesture - not the gesture - the gesticulation. The attempt to heighten drama by summoning the press to the White House Situation Room instead of the Oval Office or Press Room. Angry obsessions with unrealizable goals.
It brings to mind the author: a man who reignited national pride and confidence in his disgraced country. He ended up besieged in a bunker war room while issuing delusional orders to vanquished armies in a war he'd long ago lost.
