David Brooks presents a complex analysis of the Trump administration, grudgingly admiring its unprecedented energy and bold initiative. He compares the administration to a high-powered supercar, noting its remarkable ability to take initiative and operate at an intense tempo that overwhelms opponents, describing it as possessing a "torrential thumos" - a burning core of assertiveness that drives constant forward momentum However, Brooks also critically examines the administration's potential fatal flaws, highlighting its lack of prudence and strategic depth. He argues that while the administration's revolutionary approach and clear purpose give it a significant advantage, its reckless audacity and tendency to act without careful consideration could ultimately be its downfall. Brooks suggests that opponents can effectively counter this approach by creating "friction" - using lawsuits, non-cooperation, and strategic resistance to disrupt the administration's aggressive plans.
