Bret Stephens, a New York Times columnist, admits that the 'Never Trump' movement failed to understand the appeal of Donald Trump and calls for a shift away from moralizing and doomsaying. He acknowledges Trump's 'sulfurous contempt' for the political elite resonated with his supporters, something Never Trumpers 'never quite got the point.'
New York Times columnist Bret Stephens appears to be giving up on the ' Never Trump ' identity he embraced during the first Trump era, realizing that he and his media colleagues missed the mark following the 2024 election. 'It’s been more than nine years since I first denounced Donald Trump as a ‘loudmouth vulgarian appealing to quieter vulgarians.’ I’ve called myself a Never Trump conservative ever since, even when I agreed with his policies from time to time.
' TRUMP MAKES BLIZZARD OF NEWS, SHOWS RESTRAINT AT PRESSER, EVEN WHILE SLAMMING THE MEDIA The Times columnist went on to list several concessions, like his failed prediction that Trump 'might stumble into World War III' as president, how the Russia collusion allegations 'were a smear' and that Trump was 'much tougher' on the Kremlin than the Obama and Biden administrations before the Ukraine war.
