Trump is not all bad

If it sounds as if, after his mass murders, lawlessness, incipient dementia and sheer incompetence I regard Donald Trump as wholly bad I do not, at all. 

He is also a visionary and there were very good reasons why he won the presidency twice. As Kissinger said he is a figure that was necessary to show that one historical era is at an end and a new one begins.

He is bringing peace to Ukraine, dismantling Nato and the Anglo-American alliance and moving the Overton window on immigration- all these are very good things. 

His National Security Strategy and Vice-President Vance's speech at Munich were wonderful and long overdue recognitions of reality.

So Trump has done necessary and courageous things as well as unforgivable ones.

John Mearsheimer thinks that were there another Nuremberg Tribunal Trump and Netanyahu would suffer the fate of the German leaders back in 1945. 

He omits to include Biden but Biden would get off on the grounds of diminished responsibility. 

Trump in that unlikely hypothetical situation might try the same defence. It would be worth a shot.
