Is Trump the Only Adult in the Room?

Victor Davis Hanson

The common denominator of all this petulance from Trump’s enemies is exasperation over the inability to derail him.



"Donald Trump certainly is mercurial at times. He can be uncouth.
"But then again, no president in modern memory has been on the receiving end of such overwhelmingly negative media coverage and a three-year effort to abort his presidency, beginning the day after his election.
"Do we remember the effort to subvert the Electoral College to prevent Trump from assuming office?
"The first impeachment try during his initial week in office?
"Attempts to remove Trump using the ossified Logan Act or the emoluments clause of the Constitution?"
"The idea of declaring Trump unhinged, subject to removal by invoking the 25th Amendment?
"Special counsel Robert Mueller’s 22-month, $35 million investigation, which failed to find Trump guilty of collusion with Russia in the 2016 election and failed to find actionable obstruction of justice pertaining to the non-crime of collusion?"
"The constant endeavors to subpoena Trump’s tax returns and to investigate his family, lawyers and friends?" . . .
