In his Lawfare critique of one
of my several columns about the purported obstruction case against
President Trump, Gabriel Schoenfeld loses me — as I suspect he will lose
others — when he says of himself, “I do not think I am Trump-deranged.”
Gabe graciously expresses fondness for me, and the feeling is mutual.
But his work has become a one-note #NeverTrump tune since spring 2016,
when it became inevitable that Donald Trump would be the Republican
presidential nominee.
Most of us who opposed that outcome have made an uneasy peace with it. After all, to wallow about a person of Trump’s character flaws being president would not change the realities that he is president, and that how the country is governed matters more than who is doing the governing. But, alas, Gabe is forever rabid, such that if the president helped an elderly woman cross the street, we would find him seething that Trump had caused the dangerous traffic conditions — and probably just wanted to steal her purse.
