President-elect Donald Trump’s most striking characteristics today are clarity, confidence, and calm. This is extraordinary in a man renowned for chaos, confusion, and the thin-skinned hurling of demeaning insults. But it is a truth that needs to be acknowledged and accounted for to understand what we are witnessing as Trump prepares to resume the presidency.
His press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Dec. 16 revealed a man almost preternaturally at ease with himself, his mission, his domestic support, and his acceptance abroad. His tone was measured, even somewhat humble, despite some bragging. When he dismissed questions, as he justifiably did once or twice, it was not done angrily or in a way that looked petty but with an assurance that widened the gap between himself and his erstwhile adversaries.
The press asked questions almost deferentially, showing respect for his office and a quietude rooted in the magnitude of his political triumph and mandate. The spectacle was a stunning contrast with the media maelstrom of his first term, when the likes of CNN’s Jim Acosta, posing vainly as a modern-Danton or people’s tribune, treated Trump as though he were axiomatically as illegitimate a president as Hillary Clinton and others bitterly claimed.
But as the days and weeks of the current presidential transition pass by, the significance of the stunning electoral outcome on Nov. 5 is settling on Trump, the nation, and the rest of the world.

Yes, it has.
Trump isn’t under attack. If the Democrats didn’t go psycho, we would have seen this version of Trump in 2016. He basically a nice man.
Thank you, sir.
👍
How you put it really does make so much good sense and it’s already showing.
What a reversal for the Examiner and Gurdon! I cancelled my subscription because Gurdon and like-minded “conservative” scribes on the magazine unfailingly ignored or minimized Trump’s agenda and accomplishments. In Van Jone’s words, Gurdon “looks like an idiot.”
He’ll always be among the most evil to have ever lived. I firmly believe that.
Very good post.
I’m 74 and still use the word punk when appropriate and you’re exactly right: he’s a punk. But now he’s diminished.
Good post.
😊
Very good post. They are very clever and like snakes in the grass.
Obama is now jealous of Jones. Obama has, by his own doing, been relegated to a has-been punk.
Whoops...supposed to be on the California Bird Flu post. Sorry about that.

…that succeeded in completely subverting every single alphabet agency and gov organization in 8 years, including a portion of the military.
Should never underestimate the enemy.
”Hello, Time Magazine? This is Baraq Obama. Cancel my subscription!”
A lot of good people, innocent people, died because of Biden and his minions. A big price to pay. I’m not quite sure I agree with you.
Bill and Hillary already tried that trick, and the Government Accounting Office called them on it, demanded the return of historic items, and sent them a bill for the rest. DJT probably remembers that.

That’s right. Obama is a punk who is fading away.
