Quotation of the Day
10th November 2024
ZMan:
Watching the jubilation from the Trump fans online, I am amazed how they seem to have forgotten what happened in his first term. His party, the other party, permanent Washington, the judiciary and the intelligence community worked to thwart him. It is only reasonable to assume they will do the same this time, maybe without the theatrics. Trump is wiser now and he has some support from the economic elites, but he still faces the orc army of managerialism.
That does not mean it is hopeless. It just means expectations need to be tempered. The most we can expect from Trump is for him to move the ball down the field, so that Vance can start from better field position if he wins in 2028. In fact, one of the top priorities of this term should be to set up Vance to take the baton from Trump and continue the fight. Every mortgage payment in Washington depends on Trump failing, so no one should expect a glorious revolution.
