Eric Greitens has resigned in disgrace. This is antithetical to the person Sean knew and worked with in the Navy's Special Ops. This sent Sean into a bit of a crisis of cognitive dissonance. Greiten's PHD thesis was on ethics and refugee studies. Among other things, the mental gymnastics that had to happen for him to embrace the Trump administration was really troubling to Sean. Emily has more experience with sociopaths and is less surprised by people. Sean feels like he understands less about the world than he thought he did. And he calculated presidential algorithms in his book. That tells you everything you need to know.
