Donald Trump is set to win a blowout Trifecta. Here’s his betting slip:
In first place, immigration. The mob is miles ahead of the intelligentsia. Asylum has outlived its utility. Where Congress fails to act, Trump is willing to push the limits of Presidential authority, Biden not so much. Advantage Trump.
Second place in Donald Trump’s winning trifecta goes to Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel is entitled to broad latitude in its own defense, but we are way past that point. We have become the complicit enabler of bad behavior, and voters know it. Advantage Trump.
In third place, Ukraine. Whatever may have been imaginable a year ago, no one seriously believes Russia can be pushed out of Ukraine now. Hawks won’t get the funds from Congress to pursue that strategy, and Biden hasn’t adapted to the battlefield realities, either in Ukraine or in our Congress. Advantage Trump.
Can a bombastic blathering orangutan win an election? Maybe he can – if he knows which way the wind blows.
