Trumped Out?

Trumped Out?

Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness

The new post-Mueller media narrative is “weariness” and “exhaustion” with President Trump’s tweets, his cul de sac Sharpie controversy, his ideas about buying Greenland, his unorthodox art-of-the-deal foreign policy that resulted in a plan to talk to Taliban leaders in the United States, and his firing of arch-conservative John Bolton.

The Drudge Report, once a go-to site for Trumpism, now seems unapologetically anti-Trump, in its often trademark snarky style.

Are Trump supporters then weary?

The August jobs report “unexpectedly” reminds us that never have so many Americans been at work. The 3.7 percent unemployment rate continues to be the lowest peacetime unemployment figure in 50 years. Black and Hispanic unemployment remain at record lows. Workers’ wages continue to rise. Talk of recession is belied by low interest, low inflation, low unemployment, and a strong stock market. The result is that millions of Americans enjoy far better lives than they had in 2016.

Ya read this stuff and ask yourselves what inexactly is the definition of a "Hoover Scholar"? Is it possible to be a "Scholar" and a total troglodyte at the same time? Evidently it is. On the other hand ya gotta admit this takes real skill. A well-written, boot-licking sycophantic melody of half-truths, outright distortions all in tribute to the High Priest of the Temple of Trump. I was looking at a map just yesterday from the "Deep-State" CDC defining the population % of morbidly obese in each state. If you overlay the states that DJT carried there is a great deal of over-lap. Higher morbidity love for DJT goes with it. Not a big shock. I'd like to see an article from old-Vic about how DJT's totally fictitious stories about rushing to the WTC on 911 to help adds to his appeal In Vic's eyes.."leadership for the modern world."
