What do you think of Victor Davis Hanson’s opinion of Trump’s methodology. Is he a modern day “Ajax” as VDH describes him to be? Do you agree with Hanson’s take? Why?
(Patton was a modern day Ajax, a Greek soldier in the Trojan War.)1
And if you disagree, tell me why too.
1 Ajax or Aias is a Greek mythological hero, the son of King Telamon and Periboea, and the half-brother of Teucer. He plays an important role, and is portrayed as a towering figure and a warrior of great courage in Homer’s Iliad and in the Epic Cycle, a series of epic poems about the Trojan War, being second only to Achilles among Greek heroes of the war.
I wholeheartedly agree with VDH.
Someone gave a good analogy of President Trump. When you have an infestation, you don’t give a flying flip about “mean” tweets. You just want the vermin eradicated. And I believe President Trump is the ONLY person that can do it!!
Human beings are NOT “vermin” unless you are “vermin”, yourself.
Let’s remember most of those people were INVITED WITH ASSURANCES by ‘trusted’ entities like the American Red Cross and the American Democratic Party, who are also helping to foot the bill for the travel.
The ‘present’ Governor of Arizona campaigned in MEXICO via television and she had boots on the ground to get elected SOS in AZ. This is illegal and no one did a thing about it.
You can’t blame humans for wanting a better life for themselves and especially for their offspring when they were born into a stricter form of usury than you were.
Your assertion is NOT a form of resolution and represents the weak-minded attributes of other humans that form a protective barrier around our true enemies.
I can tell you for a FACT that those you refer to as “vermin” bleed the same color red that you do.
You cannot expect your own humanity to matter if you can so easily reduce other human beings to “vermin”. Would you invite someone to the promise of a hot, home-cooked meal and then denigrate them for showing up to your home?
If you want to be disgusted and angry than go to the cause of this human tragedy, rather than those that simply want what you want.
Hanson purports that President Trump has two choices and then he asserts that there is a third alternative. For my own survival, I cannot be confounded with that level of limitation at this stage of chaos.
It DOES MATTER that the “FBI, DNC and the left colluded with social media” on a number of points that were engineered to interfere with our elections. It is TREASON. Those “ends” are NEVER justifiable under ANY circumstances unless we agree that it is justifiable to WEAPONIZE our federal gov’t under any circumstances for any rogue group with access. I’m not sure why Hanson glosses over these important facts and intimates that they are conveniently tangled with a man’s self-concept. They would be TREASONOUS if it was done in any other election. The matter, here, isn’t Donald Trump. The matter is TREASON.
I find Hanson to be limp and wobbly along with his seemingly disingenuous presumptions about Donald Trump.
I’m not sure how any form of gov’t can go on under the shelter of a bankrupt corporation. Honestly, I’m disappointed that Donald Trump has not been more forthcoming about this FACT so that better minds could be moving forward in CORRECTION and RESOLUTION, beginning with the valuation of assets of a shadow corporation that has been stealing from the American public to further its agenda, which is the annihilation of the American people to a number that is more “controllable” by their estimation.
This cannot stand any longer. We don’t have four wheels on the cart, anymore.
The American people deserve to be told the truth on the television on the news because they are depending on it.
People who lack discernment have their own crosses to bear and they are the ones who depend upon the news to give them the facts about current events because that is how they perceive it to be. They have been lulled into believing that this is the way it is, so give it to them and quick.
The truth is out there and those of us with discernment have gone out of our way to find these truths and it’s up to us to hold the line until the mess is straightened out or until humanity ceases to exist.
The jury is still out for me what President Trump is trying to do and if he ever intends to enlighten the American people with the truth. Is he trying to merge a failed, bankrupt corporation’s assets into the illusion of gov’t that we have been operating under?
The USA is in a healing crisis and it’s getting worse before it can possibly get better. This is the natural flow for “healing”. How can we defend ourselves against an enemy that no one in our perceived gov’t will admit? How can we move forward when we don’t know the truth of where we are? How can we correct if we are pointing our finger at one man? Love him or hate him, President Trump knows more about all of these lies, scams, usury and fairy tales than most and if we think of him more as a Guide, rather than a Savior and we’re willing to do our own due diligence than, instinctively, I feel there is a way forward.
I’ve seen many three-legged dogs and cats live prosperous lives.
I’d like to take responsibility for my ‘disappointment’ that was seeded by an expectation of Trump to tell Americans the truth about the bankrupt corporation that has taken over our country, 9/11, Antartica, the proof of stolen elections and more. Expectations lead to disappointment and why expect Trump to deliver when no other President has been successful in doing so and lived.
You are jumping the gun. Be patient. It will all come out in time. Savor the panic those responsible for those events must be feeling. Why cut it short? Let the panic build!
I agree with Andrea.
I suspect your frustration level, likely as millions of other anons and digital warriors, is at peak level.
Try to picture it this way: It’s been known for many, many decades, even at the most theory levels, maybe at least since the 50’s that there were powers bent on dismantling our great nation.
Then plans began to be developed to stop it.
I believe the assassination of RFK triggered a serious effort to boost the plan to take our nation back. That would be a half century ago.
Then efforts of those involved in ‘the plan’ started picking up momentum. The first major step they took was to find that one specific person likely to lead the movement. Our President was likely approached about two decades ago to be that person.
The thought and details as to how the plan would be put into action is mind blowing. They *had* to cover *every possible scenario*.
Extremely complex and detailed with alternate avenues to utilize.
Every category had to be planned on so that there would be a total reversal of the cabal and deep state. Worldwide. Every. Single. One — so this would never, or at least for many generations, reoccur.
With that in mind, wouldn’t it be counter-productive and counter-intuitive to reveal the plan that has been in the making for decades and decades?
An act such as that would *completely* undermine the objective of ridding the world of the evil set on taking total control of said world?
This is a *war*. Collateral casualties happen in war — that’s reality and well considered. Those have been massive and it’s likely that’s not over … they won’t be until this was has been won.
That option of giving away the ‘plan’ would be giving up and surrendering to the Satanic forces and their world domination.
I doubt that would be what you — or *any* of us — wants.
I recommend to you what I keep doing … take your mind off of the war — immerse yourself in some type of activity or project. Rinse and repeat. You’re not doing your health any good by letting the frustration get the best of you.
We’re *so close*.

Well, my opinion of this person speaks like a typical Rhino, wolf in sheep’s clothing! Does President Trump keep hammering about the stolen election and the constant and horrible attacks upon him, his family, his personal and business life? Yes and he is justified to do so! What the illegal regime is doing to him and all conservatives is absolutely despicable and UNACCEPTABLE! Apparently, VDH is trying to persuade the listener that We, the People, do not really like Donald J. Trump, our truly elected President in both 2016 and 2020, and that he is not electable in 2024! Compared to the crooked and despicable DS crowd, Donald J Trump is a saint! GET REAL VDH! What VDH doesn’t admit is that We, the People, are the MAJORITY in this country and we love, want and need President Trump, just the way he is, and we need him to finish what he began…draining the swamp! DONALD J. TRUMP has our support and vote for POTUS for 2024! WWG1WGA!
President Trump is DETERMINED to TAKE BACK the Presidency that was STOLEN from him. For the astute VDH to suggest that he stop being a FIGHTER, who TAKES NO PRISONERS, to change his tactics and become a quiet spoken man who will just lay down and take ABUSE from anyone with a mouth, is just ridiculous. WE ALL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND what THE AGENDA is, as we all have Lived through all of this mess, and are not Brain Dead. We Want President Trump just as HE IS, THE FIGHTER FOR THE PEOPLE. This AMAZING PATRIOT WARRIOR is going to TAKE BACK OUR GOVERNMENT FROM A WORLD WIDE REGIME OF KILLER COMMUNISTS, WHO WANT TO KILL HIM, HIS FAMILY, AND ALL OF US!
He can use whatever language he chooses on any Media Twit, News person, Member of Congress, Governor, Mayor, Government official, Potential Candiate for any Office, or Indivudual, at any time in the pursuance of OUR FREEDOM from PERSECUTION AND DEATH!
May I gently suggest that VDH settle into his fine office and begin to write his Memoirs. President Trump does NOT deserve such blatant DISRESPECT, especially from such a supposed learned man. I say, CARRY ON, PRESIDENT TRUMP, WE WILL SUPPORT YOU 100% EVERY SINGLE DAY, TO THE END OF THE LINE! GOD BLESS YOU, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Sorry about the erratic & inconsistent likes and replies … I truly believe there’s no one on this planet that has more consistent problems with their computer than I do. If I could afford a “good” expensive one I’d take a 10# maul to the one that’s trying to make me go bald.
I agree with VDH. I wouldn’t doubt that he reads A LOT. Even if he could speed read I have a feeling from some of his comments he hasn’t been reading much if any Substack. I wish he would.

In unrelated news … THE FLORIDA PANTHERS BEAT THE BOSTON BULLIES BRUINS IN THE TIE-BREAKING GAME 7 !! YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAW !!
Now they have to beat Toronto Maple Leafs in the next series.
Always a pleasure to read your comments when you can get your recalcitrant computer to behave.
Only some opinions are welcome?
VDH is a brilliant, well-read academic (except for, as Anoldpieceofleather pointed
ed out, substacks). Unfortunately, I think he spends too much time listening to the main-stream news and those inside the beltway. He is out of touch with the vast majority of Americans.
I agree.
We love your opinions! Keep up the good work!!! It is going to be a real dogfight, but WE Will Not Give In! I am enjoying ‘the daily news’ for a change!!!
I meant to add this in my comment but it was *really late* ( or for some of you, really early).
VDH mentioned General “Mad Dog” Mattis (USMC retired) as being on our Presidents staff as SecDef — for a short period. I was first quite irritated about the apparent ‘falling out’ they had until I gave it some thought.
Supposedly Trump ‘fired’ Mattis due to their apparent disagreement in policy. Here’s what I now think, having an idea about what happened:
Has *anyone* seen or heard of Gen. Mattis since then? I haven’t.
We do know that the United States Marine Corps answers directly to the President.
We do know that our President is ‘in exile’.
I think their public ‘spat’ was a kayfabe.
I think Gen. Mattis has something to do with the present USMC stealth operations for our President, maybe at the top. He has a phenomenal record as a leader and Marines under him would follow him to hell and back.
Tip of the spear …
Just my biased opinion …
Thoughts?
NCSWIC
Omg. I think you’re really on to something. Your theory would not surprise me. Gold Star to attach to your USMC uniform!
I love the reminder of “Mad Dog Mattis”! He FIRES ME UP!
I hope you are correct in your assessment. This makes a lot of sense. Not a word from the General, and we know they worked well together. Thanks for your observation; you are ‘rigiht on’, as usual. I lost all connenctions when the 5G was installed in my neighborhood… deep dig down to 7 feet. ATT did not lay their cables correctly so that digging throughout, was repeated. On the computer issue, I am also having a LOT of isssues, not certain why I lost a ton of saved files and folders, when I changed phone carriers. Caused me to have to start over with a new identity, now cannot “verify” my new email and phone numbers, to get into many of my regular sites… Nextdoor, Go Fund Me, local government, trying not to be paranoid, T Mobile, most aggravating. Even WORD Press is posting my name now on comments. Maybe I have reached “that age” …lol. Will keep plugging away…. this year is feeling very heavy, even with all of the excellent news! Substack is amazing… the best source is Radiopatriot! Our brilliant leader Never Sleeps! Have a beautiful and Patriotic Day!
Anybody can spout a set of policies. It means absolutely nothing if you do not know how to accomplish them.
Trump set policies and set them into action. Two totally different things.
The proof is that the deep State was going bonkers..He was right over the target with the appropriate smart bombs.
Big government people only know how to talk about stuff and them complain when someone else doesn’t get it done.
Trump KNOWS HOW to get it done and no one has the 1000yard stare on the future like he does…a VERY long term planner.
He knows how to nudge and produce better than ANYONE.
Out of all the players yes, he is the one that can get it done. But I also agree he shouldn’t be made out that “I saved America”. It was him, military & others like you that have worked hard to get accurate info out. He just needs to tone it down from his first administration. SO many ppl love him and he has already proven what he can do. That’s why we keep hanging on.
Brenda, he IS saving America. And he is entitled to enumerate all that he did for our country especially to contrast his accomplishments compared to what Biden has done.
Know this: He’s not talking to you — you are already coached up and will support him no matter what. This is war, and he’s a street fighter. Follow his lead. Trump is talking to the normies, the low information voters who are just now beginning to wake up. Those who have been Democrats all their lives and are now seeing that their dear party is no longer. So they have to be “coached up” too. Trump is directing the repetitious litany of his accomplishments to those people. He should not tone it down at all. He should repeat it and repeat it and repeat it, along with the consequences of what will happen if he and we don’t win. This is a race to the finish and if he doesn’t have a majority of Americans on board with him, we will lose.
As you pointed out, the military and the rest of us out here pounding the keys like the keyboard warriors we are in this information war are his army. And we amplify his messages as much as possible.
If Trump doesn’t tout his message and his accomplishments, who will? The media? LOL…
He can “brag” on about what he’s done. You know the saying, that if you have accomplished / done it, it isn’t bragging.
ABSOLUTELY right on, Andrea! President Trump can brag rightfully so because he HAS ACCOMPLISHED everything he said he would do! And, if a politician running for another term fulfills all the promises made, the accomplishments need to be touted about over and over again so those “uninformed voters” wake up and become “informed voters”!
