This is the best VDH article I have read in a long time.

Close, except VDH still doesn’t get that these “brawls” and fights, especially with people inside the administration (Sessions, Tillerson), are pure WWF entertainment/sideshows/distractions.
Cheese in the maze, Vic.
Cheese in the maze.
It is obvious to everyone except the media.....................
I freaking love Victor Davis Hanson..!
his stories of the Fresno area while he bicycles along are insightful, poignant, detailed and often hilarious.
He’s a great speaker and fantastic writer.
Later.
Other than Tom Price, the media find themselves taking sides with the secretaries because they hate Trump so much. Of course, that doesn’t work for alleged “alt-right” types whom the media brands as “Nazis” for no reason other than blind hate.
Trump takes the bullets and the results are surprisingly good in many cases. The media won’t admit how big a success he has been but main street is noticing.
shhhh. we don’t want stuff like this to get out because it is dependent on the democratic party being uninformed and clueless to what is taking place. in the future stuff like this should only be talked about in low whispers when those that want to talk about it have made sure there is no Democratic supporter in the room.....
LOL...LOL...LOL
Trump is not playing Chess and the Democrats are not playing checkers ... both are playing a game of keep away and the small child trying to get the ball back is the democratic party and it is trump and his administration tossing the ball around in an attempt to wear out the Demacratic party.

Great article. VDH understands and explains DJT very well.
Best analogy by VDH: Trump is the always racing Roadrunner, and his enemies are the hapless Wile E Coyote.
In their fanatical zeal to blow up Trump, his enemies usually blow themselves up instead, much like Wile E Coyote. By the time his enemies stop seeing stars from the latest explosion, Trump the Roadrunner has already zoomed on to the next agenda item.
It’s a thing of beauty to watch.
...don’t dare attack Trump unless you are willing to be dragged down with him into a netherworld whose rules he has mastered. Just ask Low Energy Jeb, Little Marco, or Lyin’ Ted.
Crooked Hillary may want an input as well.
When will the public tire of Trump’s imbroglios?
Likely when a few of several scenarios happen: he gets into a major optional war that bogs down; he so insults his own appointees that we finally see four or five marquee cabinet sequential resignations; he does not build the wall, reform health care, or achieve a middle-class tax cut and therefore loses his base; or he cannot achieve 3 percent annual economic growth or is plagued by a recession or return to stagflation.
An interesting scorecard - ISIS has just lost their capital city, his appointees appear to be targets rather than arrow-shooters, Mueller and Sessions in particular walking around with bulls-eyes painted on their backs, the wall is, despite furious Democrat and RINO resistance, in the design selection stage, health care is proceeding despite that same resistance and certain RINO careers may find themselves challenged in '18 for that resistance, the tax cut is still in its formative stages, and the only quibble I find with VDH's list is that 3% economic growth - the focus is on jobs, not necessarily a reported abstract number such as GNP. The public sees jobs and the Dow, however incomplete those two indicators are, and any report on other numbers is leavened by a healthy distrust of the media doing the reporting. It may not be optimal, but that's how it is.
Either way, the Trump presidency is moving at a speed likely unmatched by his predecessors, and he is getting somewhere fast.
The media in particular are struggling to catch up, tripping over every rock Trump tosses out the window in the form of Twitter postings that take all of two minutes apiece. The Dems are still focused on an election they refuse to admit they lost. So far, so good.
Good article....but can VDH explain 1 thing for me?
Why isn’t Susan Rice in prison? Lynch? Lerner? Clinton?
There is more than enough evidence to convict all of them....so why? If Trump is clearing the way for Sessions to do his job....why isn’t Sessions doing his job?
Until some criminals are put behind bars, I’m not buying it.

“and he is getting somewhere fast” in regards to President Trump.
I don't see any of these dooms day scenarios occurring. In fact, I think Trump will achieve beyond our imaginations and become unbeatable in 2020.
Thanks for posting. You’re right. GREAT article by VDH. HOORAY President Donald J. Trump. Thanks to the people in the administration.
MAGA!
It is good, but VDH is a master and a national treasure.
Any article by VDH that is not *good* is rare.
I find this one excellent, which is about average for VDH.
I love Donald Trump. Absolutely love him. I have long wanted a president that made the liberal half of the world just reel in horror and shock, and I am enjoying every damn minute of it. The only thing that would make me happier is to see the Pelosi-Soros contingent jumping off of bridges or dropping dead of heart attacks. I hate them utterly.
