BRILLIANT: Victor Davis Hanson Analyzes and Explains Trump’s Cabinet Picks as Only He Can
Trump is adding people to his new team at lightning speed. Most people on the right are overjoyed with the choices that they are seeing, but Democrats and liberal media types are dumbfounded. They just don’t get it.
Enter Victor Davis Hanson.
Hanson is a conservative, a historian, and a scholar. He recently took some time to write an analysis of Trump’s cabinet picks to help explain the thinking here. His explanation is absolutely brilliant, as usual.
Hanson writes on Twitter/X:
Trump, His Disrupters, and a Chance to Return to Normalcy?
Many of Trump first-round picks share some common themes.
One, many, who were in the past victimized by government bullies and cowardly bureaucratic grandees, or proved sharp critics of the administrative state, are now, in karma-style, in charge of the very agencies that hounded him.
So, Elon Musk, perennial target of government regulatory functionaries, was once policed, but now he polices the bureaucratic police.
Robert Kennedy, Jr., proposed overseer of government health programs, was often blasted as a crank by the subsidized scientists and the administrators within HHS whom he will now direct.
Pete Hegseth fought the military DEI machinery while a solider in the ranks and wrote a book about the corruption of the Pentagon. He will now, if confirmed, run the Pentagon.
Tulsi Gabbard was improperly put on a national security travel watch list as a supposed security threat—and now will be a guardian of our security as Director of National Intelligence.
Tom Homan was derided by the Biden administration and its Homeland Security minions as a fanatic border hawk; now he will run ICE and deal with the detritus of Biden fanaticism on the border.
