Claudine Gay and “The Elemental Force” that is Donald Trump

On Tuesday’s Commentary podcast, John Podhoretz remarked on the “elemental force” that is Donald Trump but did not spend time on the sources of that force. In 2016, Peggy Noonan speculated that the “unprotected” in the U.S. were rising up in rebellion against the nation’s “protected.” Today Hugh spent most of his show discussing how the Claudine Gay debacle at Harvard is combining with other issues to fuel the anger of the unprotected and propel Trump forward again. He discusses with among others Salena Zito, Mary Katharine Ham, Jim Geraghty, and Congressman Mike Gallagher.
