Oh, brother! A rather odd argument, at best. Break us a give!
“Hanson is a supporter of
Donald Trump, authoring a 2019 book
The Case for Trump.[20] Trump praised the book.
[20] In the book, Hanson defends Trump’s insults and vile language as "uncouth authenticity", and praises Trump for "an uncanny ability to troll and create hysteria among his media and political critics."
[20] According to
Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada, the book "focuses less on the case for Trump than on the case against everyone else," in particular attacking Hillary Clinton.
[20] According to Lozada, Hanson indulges "in casual sexism, criticizing Clinton’s “shrill” voice and her “signature off-putting laugh,” and inexplicably suggesting that while “Trump’s bulk fueled a monstrous energy; Hillary’s girth sapped her strength.”"
[20] Hanson praises the Trump administration for its "inspired" and "impressive" Cabinet members.
[20] In the book, Hanson blamed Barack Obama for "deliberately [whipping up]" "much of the current division in the country", while ignoring Trump’s birtherism or attacks on Muslims.
[20] The book likens Trump to a hero of ancient literature, sacrificing himself for the greater good.
[20] Hanson expressed support for Trump’s proposed border wall on the Southern border, saying that walls around houses deter criminals.
