Mr Roos, a silicon valley lawyer, top fundraiser for the President. What did he know, going in, about Japan, trade, Asia, geopolitics, government, any government, even his own?
Who knows? What about her? Benevolent NGOs, mainly.
She has written some books, within the legal field, that I am aware of. What may she know about Japan specifically, etc.? Who knows, probably not very much. I think her husband is Jewish, not Japanese.
Reviewing his background, he has had a prominent career as an artist, of a rather special kind. Of Ukrainian, Jewish, New York, immigrant stock. He was appointed, 2011, to The US Commission of Fine Arts, by the President....maybe he knows Blitt?
Tells one, in a nutshell, all one needs to know, really, about our system, and its mechanisms.
What we have had here, really, is closet aristocrats, but not aristocrats in the old mold, who actually often knew something, often quite a lot, about their diplomatic compeers.
