‘Trump as classic tragic hero' Prof. Victor Davis Hanson

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.”

Trump as classic tragic hero,' Prof. Victor Davis Hanson at Pepperdine conference

Sorry, no transcript that I am aware of.

Professor Hanson’s public contact information below:

https://www.hoover.org/profiles/victor-davis-hanson

He may have easy access to a transcript or a contact at Pepperdine who may have one.

Here is his earlier written essay: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/...p-tragic-hero/

I haven't watched the video but the theme is the same.

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.
