Hitchens On Trump

[poliphilo]

Peter Hitchens says of Trump that he's "the most brilliant politician since Princess Diana- not especially knowledgeable or intelligent, but cunning beyond belief." I would question the extent to which Trump calculates the effect he's having (and therefore quite how cunning he is) but I think the comparison with Diana is inspired.

Until it all comes unstuck as it eventually will.

Of course.

As Enoch Powell is supposed to have said, "All political careers end in failure."
