Provocative and interesting, VDH shares his observations on the Trump phenomena. Short video shared on that banished platform. Most know the drill.

Also available on Maggie’s Farm - link below.

To paraphrase...in understanding the animosity towards Trump...

“Trump is like chemotherapy to the cancerous Deep-State host.”

In recognizing the value of Trump as Trump...

“Trump is more Patton than either an Eisenhower or a Bradley...but you would not want them to switch roles.”

Penn, the video on the platform that shall not be named, has closed captioning available. You should find a "cc" button on the bottom right hand side.
