All the bats in VDH's belfry....

Trump still stands. In Nietzschean fashion what did not kill him apparently only made him stronger.

Trump epitomizes weakness, both moral and physical. His Tweets are those of an emotionally insecure, erratic and too easily frightened buffoon.

Hansen's a great judge of character too...

Political views[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Davis_Hanson

Hanson is a traditional conservative who voted for George W. Bush in the 2000 and 2004 elections.[15] Hanson was a defender of George W. Bush and his policies,[16] especially the Iraq War.[17] He was also a vocal supporter of Bush's Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Hanson wrote of Rumsfeld that he was: "a rare sort of secretary of the caliber of George Marshall" and a "proud and honest-speaking visionary" whose "hard work and insight are bringing us ever closer to victory".[18]

Hanson is a supporter of Donald Trump, authoring a 2019 book A Case for Trump.[19] Trump praised the book.[19] In the book, Hanson defends Trump's insults and vile language as "uncouth authenticity", and praises Trump for "an uncanny ability to troll and create hysteria among his media and political critics."[19]

According to Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada, the book "focuses less on the case for Trump than on the case against everyone else," in particular attacking Hillary Clinton.[19]

According to Lozada, Hanson indulges "in casual sexism, criticizing Clinton’s “shrill” voice and her “signature off-putting laugh,” and inexplicably suggesting that while “Trump’s bulk fueled a monstrous energy; Hillary’s girth sapped her strength.”"[19] Hanson praises the Trump administration for its "inspired" and "impressive" Cabinet members.[19]

In the book, Hanson blamed Barack Obama for "deliberately [whipping up]" "much of the current division in the country" while not covering at all Trump's birtherism or attacks on Muslims.[19] The book likens Trump to a hero of ancient literature, sacrificing himself for the greater good.[19] Anton expressed support for Trump's proposed border wall on the Southern border, saying that walls around houses deter criminals.[19]
