George Will Bows to the Inevitable: Trump Was Right
David Strom
George F. Will, or as I like to call him George Fwill, absolutely LOATHES Donald Trump.
That should surprise nobody. The geek with a bowtie who often found Reagan beneath him surely would loathe Trump and his classless administration based as much on their crass style as their America First policies.
Unlike many NeverTrumpers, his raw hatred for Trump didn't turn him into a liberal; he is, as much as one person can be, the same as he was in 1979. Dry, arrogant, measured for the most part, and center-right. It's not like he went all Bill Kristol or George Conway on us, so I usually roll my eyes rather than grit my teeth when I read him on those few occasions I do.
Will finds Trump, and of course Pete Hegseth, unbearable. Foreign policy is Will's great love, and having come to prominence in the buttoned-up Reagan years, he cringes every time he sees Hegseth or Trump speak on foreign policy. He has been remarkably blind to Trump's pretty obvious strategy to reset foreign relations and reestablish American dominance, to the extent that he uncharacteristically spews bile.
Until now. Does he suddenly get it?
Now George Fwill has not reached the point where he can utter either Trump's or Hegseth's name approvingly, but man, did he almost get there.
