QuoteThe strange case of a reborn Max Boot and the folly of impeachment. Victor Davis Hanson - November 17th, 2019 Print Friendly, PDF & Email
Max Boot recently wrote that my arguments against the impeachment inquiry are prima facie proof of why the Democrats should, in fact, impeach Trump: “If even the great historian Victor Davis Hanson can’t make a single convincing argument against impeachment, I am forced to conclude that no such argument exists.”
In fact, I made 10 such arguments, all of which Boot attempted, but has failed, to refute. In this context, Boot’s intellectual erosion as a historian and analyst is a valuable warning of stage-four Trump Derangement Syndrome. I offer that diagnosis with regret given I once knew and liked Boot. But his commentary over the last three years has become sadly unhinged.
Most recently Boot declared—and then quickly retracted it only in embarrassment after popular outrage—that chief ISIS mass-murdering psychopathic Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi did not kill himself in cowardly fashion as Trump had described: “The assertion that Baghdadi died as a coward was, in any case, contradicted by the fact that rather than be captured, he blew himself up.”...
It is an Excellent article by VDH!! I encourage all to click through to read (and enjoy!) it all...
I see these types like Boot and his ilk operating with two main drivers: 1. The "psychological pathology" of Stage 4 TDS as VDH points out.... it has literally driven many of them truly insane..... 2. They are shills for the "perpetual, low-grade war" faction that is part and parcel of spreading the ills of globalism.... Trump, more than any person walking the Earth at this time, threatens to expose and halt this evil.... to root it out, and send it ingloriously onto the scrap bin of history....
