The Trump 10/90 Rule, as applied to DEI

Here’s yet another example of the Trump 10/90 Rule at work, i.e., when Trump may hold a view that has a 10 percent kernel of truth to it, but then he goes 90 percent overboard.  In this  latest case, it’s cult follower Pete Hegseth’s recent purge of books at the Naval Academy library, one of which was a book written by a friend of Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby, who says the views of Phil Perlmutter were anything but DEI. … Past examples of the 10/90 rule here and here. 

Update –5.16.25 — At Liberal Patriot, Ruy Teixeira grades Dems’ inability to acknowledge that Trump and MAGA types might actually be partly right on some issues — and how that inability is really hurting Dems.
