I’ve read several of his books, and they are great.
And I said to my wife: “This guy [Trump] is Buchanan without the anti-Semitism,”
LOL, Trump should have put that quote in a campaign ad! It’s a back-handed endorsement, as far as I’m concerned.
Eric Cortellessa covers American politics for The Times of Israel.
Thank you, Pelham. I enjoyed the interview.
Norm posts on FR, doesn’t he?
“Trump, with all his vices, has the necessary virtues and strength to fight the fight that needs to be fought. And if he doesn’t win in 2020, I would despair of the future. [...] His virtues are the virtues of the street kids of Brooklyn. You don’t back away from a fight and you fight to win. That’s one of the things that the Americans who love him, love him for—that he’s willing to fight, not willing but eager to fight. And that’s the main virtue and all the rest stem from, as Klingenstein says, his love of America. I mean, Trump loves America. He thinks it’s great or could be made great again.”
That was an exceptional article. It is a pleasure to read a conversation with a brilliant man who can express intelligent thoughts in a clear, concise, accessible way. There was also no hint of “spin” or twisting the truth to push a point. He speaks as a wise man.
Pat Buchanan is anti-Semitic???
