It was a stunner기절시키는 일격 at came out of nowhere. It is not the kind of thing he had applied for nor did he know he was nominated. One White House staffer said he had to make sure this wasn’t April 1st. A writer for TIME magazine calls it the last thing the president needs. It happened so fast and was so unexpected. The White House had to figure out what to say. It’s also one of the last remaining towering honors on earth.
