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.

He does get that. The last couple paragraphs spell it out. He’s creating the smoke screen at the front to distract enemies and draw their fire while the commanders in the rear capture ground.

Kimberly Strassel distilled this down to two sentences - from her column last Friday in the WSJ:

Mr. Trump will keep baiting the media with shiny objects. In the background, government is being redone.

Hmm. I thought that was exactly what he was saying

Any President who can't handle multiple disasters and still mock his enemies while tweeting on the toilet is no president of mine.

VDH totally “gets” that the dust-ups are distractions and sideshows. At least that’s my take-away from the whole article, basically. Maybe I’m wrong...

No James Watt Fiasco’s. In the past the people that we like they were getting the job done in the Regulatory Agencies were getting isolated and then cut off. Under Trump he is taking all the arrows and we have people running the agencies that are getting the job done like Pruitt. If Trump were respectable than true it would have gotten isolated and kicked out. This article really points this out in a way that makes me appreciate him even more
