I'm back from a trip to the Carolinas - my they have a more conservative view of things down there - and one of the first things I read is a column by Victor Davis Hanson that asks a perspective changing question:
"In some sense (to adopt a taboo military metaphor) is Trump a sort of shaped charge? That is, is Trump’s combative coarseness the radiant outer shell that is necessary to melt through the deep state and bureaucratic armor so that the inner explosive of a conservative revolutionary agenda may reach its target intact?"
Good question and I suspect the answer is "yes."
A shaped charge is used by the military to direct all the explosive force of the charge toward a very small area to penetrate a hard shell such as tank armor and explode inside. It should be apparent to pretty much everybody that President Trump is impervious to the usual crap thrown up by Leftist critics and plows ahead to accomplish his goals. And thus far his goals have been laudable, as have his Cabinet appointments.
A shaped charge relies on brute force that is focused and that seems to describe the President. The Federal government has hardened over the years to a point that it has seemed almost impenetrable and no longer subject to the will of the people - an immovable object if you will. Well, the immovable object may be meeting the irresistible force. The results should be interesting and spectacular.
