They Will Never Understand Donald Trump
Kurt Schlichter
It’s been over ten years since Donald Trump came down that escalator and said the thing that we’re not supposed to say – that illegal immigration is not an act of love, except in the most appalling figurative sense, that too many illegal aliens are criminals in other ways beyond just being illegal aliens, and that they should all go home – yet, apparently, the smart people have failed to pay any attention to him since. Again and again, he does things and triumphs, leaving them baffled. They really don’t understand Donald Trump, not in the least. It’s remarkable. This guy is entirely transparent. He does the same thing again and again and again. Yet, when he does the same thing again and again and again, the smart set – which includes Democrats, regime media folks (to the extent that is different), and even some alleged conservatives – is stunned, staggered, and baffled and draws all the wrong conclusions. Which is fine with me. I like it when my opponents get my side wrong.
What am I talking about in this particular case? This happens all the time, and there were a lot of cases of our betters not understanding Trump. Well, a few days ago, the President – I love hearing him called that as much as his opponents hate it – met with Zohran Mamdani, the communist mayor-elect of New York City, at the White House. The big shocker for people who aren’t paying attention and shouldn’t have been surprised was that Trump didn't act like a jerk to him. He played the gracious host. He was nice and polite, joking around, flattering, and generally not being aggressive or hostile to his guest. Well, Trump‘s critics were gravely disappointed. How could he not be aggressive and hostile to this guy?
