One principle that unites the Trump-era Republican party: hating its foes
NATIONAL HARBOR, United States — Donald Trump has just finished a speech at the country’s biggest annual gathering of conservatives, and outside in the hallway a group of young men are debating where they agree and disagree with the president.
There’s disagreement about his use of executive orders; his trade policies; his handling of the travel ban; his habit of using the presidential bully pulpit to pressure private businesses; his views on foreign military adventurism; and aspects of his style.
But there’s unity around the enemy.
The left, the cultural elites, and oh, yes, the mainstream media — one young libertarian man notes that, even if he dislikes aspects of Trumpism, it’s fun to watch him infuriate these people: “The triggering is hilarious. We love that.”
