For a few months now, Levin has been extolling Trump’s speeches. It’s a relief to tune into 770 AM NY, and not be crucified for supporting Trump.
I noticed years ago that Levin will circle the wagons around his friends, and I believe that was the case during the Primaries when Levin was hoping for Cruz. Unfortunately, Levin made the entirety of the election process a personal matter — well, at least that’s the impression I got as a once loyal listener. I tuned out for about a year.
Levin has elitist goggles on most times. Even now he claims Trump is purely pragmatic/business-minded and street smart, but not conservative in the “intellectual” sense.
Actually, Trump is someone who has been interested in politics throughout his life and in the past has cited his respect for the ideas of intellectual heavyweights like William F. Buckley. Trump’s interest in Chinese history and culture also precedes his businessman days. Just saying...
You can’t simply be a money/numbers guy and handle leaders from Asia and the Middle East as deftly as he has. He has a knack for understanding how other cultures operate in ways most Americans cloistered in ivory towers and think tanks do not.
Just saying. (Reposted.)
