Carter's personality is still too soft, not as fierce as Trump's; he is like a ship swaying in the ocean, unable to take a firm stand between two universal values.
Doomed to fail.
Whether he can survive... is a question.
But it doesn't mean he has no temper. He picked up the phone on the table and called Chief of Staff Everett. It's laughable...
He now feels like an emperor who's been put under house arrest. He has no power at all; his orders can't even leave the "palace."
And the chief of staff he personally chose is a "eunuch" sent by Congress to isolate him!
Laughable, laughable, laughable!
After the other party answered the call, Carter said angrily, "Get them to elect a new president; I'm old, I want to retire."
On the other end, Everett gently comforted him, as if coaxing a child.
You don't want to do it?
Who else would do it?
Finally, there's a fool who jumped at the chance; of course you have to make the most of it.
