So Paul Mirengoff does much tonight, to show Hinderaker how uncurious the latter man’s become — in his dotage.

Hinderaker applauded all but high tariffs, where Mirengoff cogently dissects Trump’s wildly flawed foreign policy views — as to both China, and Russia:

…[At]around the time it issued the Document, the Trump administration granted permission for Nvidia to sell AI chips to China. I have trouble reconciling that decision with the position the administration stakes out in the Document.

When it comes to Russia, I agree with the Journal that the National Security Document is soft. It’s not just that the Document fails to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine — the first invasion of its type in Europe since World War II. It also fails to understand what this invasion tells us about Russia’s intentions and the threat it poses to other Eastern European countries…

Yes, Paul is more sensible – about this same pile of Trumpian BS… but only marginally so.

To be sure, this Trump statement is no doubt the stuff of unicorn horn powder elixirs. It doesn’t really exist — at all.

Just some fanciful fiction writing, by Team Tangerine 2.0. But at least Paul makes the effort that Hinderaker lacks the brain-power to make, as my immediately prior post noted, mere moments ago.

Out.
