And he recognized in Dmitri someone who had serious foreign policy credentials and was sympathetic to the candidate.”
“I think Simes found Trump as much as the campaign found him,” said the foreign policy veteran, pointing to Simes’ desire for political relevance.called for an “easing of tensions” Despite his access, Simes had frustrations with the campaign and with Trump himself, whose cavalier attitude he found “maddening,” the former campaign adviser said. “So he tried to take Trump’s intuitions and turn them into something coherent.”
