printIn my libertarian book of Trump, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed,” I credit Trump so far only with breaking stuff that needs breaking, prying open The Political Spoils System as never before, getting it to rattle as in a death rattle, we hope. That’s all.
Katie Pavlich of Townhall.com is right: the signs of softening were there all along. But contrary to what Ms. Pavlcih writes, these signs were not, in my opinion, the opinions Trump shared as his pre-political persona.
Rather, the ominous signs were in Trump’s firing of good people, in his hiring of rubbish, and in his heeding what I term the family’s Pink Brigade or faction.
