Writing at The Daily Wire, Andrew Klavan has a must read column for anyone who believes Donald Trump has been a decent-or-better president. Klavan's format is to remind the reader of all the times hindsight has shown President Trump to have been right, when some half-hearted Republicans and nearly every Democrat said his choices were (a) either crazy or evil and (b) certainly wrong.
Trump has not always been articulate in his rightness, and often it has been instinctive rightness rather than philosophical, which has made it easy to dismiss. But he has been right so often and about so much that it is time to confer on him what no one but his most mindless followers have conferred on him yet: the benefit of the doubt.If you go back and view his 1990 TV interviews, available on Youtube, you'll see Trump has thought deeply about national affairs for decades. What looks like "instinct" is actually stuff he's understood for so many years he assumes incorrectly it's as obvious to us as it seems to him.
