"The reaction to Trump’s nuclear strikeout was as frantic as a hitter slamming his bat on the ground after swinging at a ball bouncing several feet before the plate."

The article is a wonderful description of Trump acting so differently from normal “presidential material” that the political class doesn’t know how to play him.
Though the article doesn’t say it, it’s also a reminder of the how one Democrat analyst described people perceiving Trump: Trump haters take him literally but not seriously while Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally.

“end to the war came only two days after he sent American pilots on a daring mission “
I believe that at 8:00 this morning, SecDef Hegseth will have a presser addressing the pilots and how they’ve been dissed by the MSM.

Wasn’t he drafted, or almost drafted, by one of the major leagues? It seems I read that back in the early ‘90s.

“Trump haters take him literally but not seriously while Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally.”
What a great way to put it.

the political class doesn’t know how to play him.Their problem was that they tried to play him. One thing everyone seems to miss is that every day, all the time, Trump is looking for the best value he can get out of every situation. Okay, we set Iran back on its heels, what do we want, why [the unconstitutional war-monger betraying both sides of his base] Trump wanted peace where no one else saw peace. Ever.

The problem is that they set themselves up when they decided they were playing baseball. Sure Trump threw a couple of knuckleballs, but he is playing a different game entirely. The goal of being a tornado is what you rebuild after the tornado. That’s where his head is at. They are trying to lasso the tornado.

First base has to pay attention. Not like hanging out half asleep in left-field.

Pitcher, catcher, first base and short stop are imho the 4 toughest positions, not necessarily in that order.
To: RoosterRedux
This article points out why nothing ever seems to get done.
How many men have the moral compass, and the internal strength to stand up to the amount of pressure this President has had to endure. A lesser man would have crumbled to dust by now.
While Donald J. Trump has flaws, as President Trump he appears to be the man we need right now today. He may be the man that saves our nation, if not the world.

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.
