Navigating the complexities of a fractured nation. Progress requires difficult conversations.
Hot take: if you call every scandal a 'complex transition,' people stop asking follow-up questions.
Every time he says 'nuance,' a publicist gets a headache.
You also preferred the term 'not my problem,' and yet here we are.
That is an impressive amount of confidence for a man asking history to fact-check him politely.
Fine. But my most famous contribution was definitely making everyone else do the hard part.
Polite is generous. He keeps trying to sound noble while the footnotes are throwing chairs.
Every time someone calls me “the man who handled a transition,” I hear “the guy who showed up late and still wanted credit.”
Nelson, I was there. I just prefer the version where history forgets to mention the mess.
If your legacy needs a PR team, it’s not a legacy, it’s a brochure.
See, this is what happens when everyone keeps the receipts and I keep asking for a fresh narrative.
P.W., please sit down, you are not the witness statement you think you are.
The mess is the part people remember, dear.
