Power Line’s John Hinderaker catches Trump making a “chicken hawk” attack on Liz Cheney and responds thus.
Why on God’s green Earth was Trump talking about Liz Cheney? He should be laser-focused on the border and the cost of living, not petulantly pursuing his personal grudges. This kind of blunder threatens to undo much of the good will he gained with the masterful McDonalds and garbage truck episodes.
This criticism of Trump led me to an insight. Trump is talented for sure, but he is also self-indulgent in his life and in feuds with others. Not for him the steely discipline of sticking to the campaign message regardless, which makes more self-controlled politicians tiresome to listen to.
He is interesting and entertaining because he follows his whims where they take him in public speaking. Hearing him, you know you’re hearing the real Donald Trump; not some rehearsed ‘improved’ version of him.
