One brilliant, creative man allowing another brilliant, smarmy man to hang himself, because the swarthy one actually thinks he is wooing and seducing the audience with his smile and laughs, his oily yet avuncular manner! Rumsler thinks he's having a fireside chat. Morris doesn't intrude. He is careful not to challenge this creep, yet Wow! He lets Rumsler TELL his lies, while basking in all his malevolent power, while Morris SHOWS us the real story with all the clips he carefully edits into his film.

"Don" is a master at getting you to chase the rabbit while robbing the hen house. When you set the rules and language of action and policy, you hold the keys to the hen house. The changing of a " political leader" or style of governing is easy with so many rabbits at your feet.

This man is responsible for two wars the release of dangerous artificial sweeteners and has been silently leading three presidents towards his own agenda. Thank god he's exposed and outta office.
