Laurer is clearly one of those idiots who's easily cowed by "star power," which is something you get over at your first paper when you have to interview the mayor for the first time. Hence why he was able to interrupt Clinton, but is too star-struck to do it to Trump.

It's true. History has completely forgotten the name of the specific young Japanese woman Truman was trying to kill, and even the reason why he felt it was necessary. But it ended the war, and I believe it was necessary.
