Victor Davis Hanson on Trump: ‘Chemotherapy’ to Kill ‘Cancer’ of ‘Permanent Political Class’

Breitbart ^ | 3/7/19 | Robert Kraychick

Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and professor of Classics Emeritus at California State University, likened President Donald Trump to “chemotherapy” used to cure the “cancer” of America’s “permanent political class.”

Hanson joined Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow to discuss his latest book, The Case for Trump. He explained his motivation for writing the book.

“I wrote it because I felt the literature so far had been either ra-ra fanatically pro-Trump without a lot of analysis, or had been just Trump Derangement Syndrome stuff,” said Hanson. “I felt that people who had voted for him and expected that he would govern successfully were actually pretty astute, so I analyzed how he devised a geographical and political agenda different from pretty much 16 other gifted candidates, and then he beat somebody who would spend $2.5 billion to his $600 million, flip the electoral college, and then he would survive pretty much an orchestrated political effort to abort his campaign and then his presidency.”

This man is very smart. It’s Trump and we deplorables against the rest. We have to win period.

[bigbob]

Not only is everything he says smart, but he says it in a way that is persuasive. He’s one of the few I see on the FNC nightly lineup who can actually bring more people over to our side rather than just pander to the base.

[Equine1952]

Him and Thomas Sowell. Very true.

Trump is a danger and threat to our current system of govt. I call that a good thing.

Close but no cigar.

Chemotherapy is poison.

Trump is no poison—he’s more like an intensely focused radiation beam. Kills the cancer without poisoning the body.

"...Close but no cigar.
Chemotherapy is poison...."

From the article:

"...“He’s sort of like chemotherapy,” stated Hanson. “Chemotherapy is a very toxic drug and it can kill the host — that’s us — but it’s not as bad as the cancer, and the cancer is this permanent political class of people who have contempt for people geographically … in between the two coasts, but also in class terms. I think he really hit something.”

You should try reading before commenting.

A brilliant and stinging attack on the political elites we despise. I don’t expect VDH will be getting invited to any beltway cocktail parties now. Ha ha.

[budj]

I don’t think VDH was a big DJT supporter during the primaries, all the way thru the election.

He is, however, a very honest and clear thinker.

I analyzed how he devised a geographical and political agenda different from pretty much 16 other gifted candidates, and then he beat somebody who would spend $2.5 billion to his $600 million, flip the electoral college, and then he would survive pretty much an orchestrated political effort to abort his campaign and then his presidency.”

AND fought off an :orchestrated" coup by 'intelligence (KGB wannabee types) AND a corrupt press that downsized to the point where they 'had to have' the throw-offs by 'intelligence'... ("Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" )

[lightman]

I read; and I did not like what I read.

Trump is not a poison.
