NP: Well, you can quote me with a question mark! At any rate, as I see it, the struggle we’re in is over the nature of this country. One side—call it the conservative culture—believes that America is a force for good in itself and a force for good in the world at large, and that to the other side—call it the culture of the Left—America is evil in itself and a force for evil in the world at large. I don’t mean that every single member of that side is evil. I mean that the culture of the Left has been pervaded by evil ideas, which have seeped into the political realm through the Democratic Party. That’s what I mean. And I thought then that Donald Trump turned out to be the one person who had what it took to stand between them and the rest of us, which he did imperfectly, but he did it.
He put the brakes on them, and he did a lot to expose what they were up to. And they did everything in their power to destroy him. I can tell you it’s very tough to hold out against that kind of thing, and very few people are capable of it and I don’t blame them. There are many people who won’t run for office precisely because they know that they won’t be able to take what’s going to be thrown at them. And Trump not only took it, he overcame it. And even, oddly enough, took it with a certain amount of grace, the grace reflected in his humor and in the clowning.
