I’ve done it now 100-plus times, I would guess, and it takes my breath away,’’ Pompeo said, lauding the president’s acuity, energy and “instincts that are incredible, truly. We’ve got folks that have been staring at problems an awfully long time, and he will provide insights, thinking about things in a way that we haven’t. He sends us back to the drawing board to do better, just in the way good leaders do. … This is a patriot of the most extraordinary level.”
