Do Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner actually understand nuclear energy enough to describe Iran’s capabilities to Donald Trump, let alone negotiate a nonproliferation agreement with Tehran?

Why was Noem was fired? Her cruelty to immigrants and citizens was eliciting empathy, making Trump and MAGA look bad. As Goebbels recognized in the 1930s, empathy is anathema to a culture of white supremacy. What they need in that role is Compassionate Cruelty.
