“While his enemies have been one of his greatest assets, he’s been one of his own biggest liabilities.”
He figures to keep the #neverTrump freaks reading after this — right where I stopped.
“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.”
I think the author makes a salient point. Trump is doing a magnificent job as POTUS. I admit, a lot of his Twitter stuff and off script rants are cringy to me. I am not comfortable with that style. But it works out for him, far better than I or anyone else would have imagined. I don’t see him ever winning a Nobel Peace Prize for uniting democrats, republicans and the media. But he certainly has exposed the rabid, radical liberal base of the democrat party and their media friends in spectacular fashion.
Trump controls the news cycles. I now believe he does it on purpose. But I also think he over-does it on issues that would otherwise be little bites and not big deals.
