If you wanna be a big shot in Big Tech, the secret is to be like Nancy Kerrigan.

In the leadup to the 1994 Olympics, the world was transfixed by the bizarre-yet-riveting spectacle of Tonya Harding, Jeff Gillooly, and “America’s Sweetheart,” Nancy Kerrigan. The tabloid tale pirouetted into high gear when poor Nancy got her knees whacked by a mysterious assailant at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Before long, the entire plot was unmasked as a desperate attempt by one skater, Tonya Harding, to literally kneecap a rival. (Harding has denied direct knowledge of the attack, insisting her ex-husband was the one behind it.)

....

And this brings us to the first week of the second term of President Trump: Something is very, very different this time around.

In 2017, Trump was still a political neophyte. His D.C. roadmap was incomplete; the Deep State swamp monsters quickly overwhelmed him with lawfare, targeted media leaks, sabotage, and PR double-teams. All too often, Trump was undermined by those he most trusted to advance the MAGA agenda.

Sure, the nonstop attacks from the left didn’t help, but what stung the most were the betrayals of MAGA’s so-called friends: You expect your enemies to attack you, but when the daggers come from your inner circle, it usually leads to organizational collapse.

So, when Trump won his second term, most of the media predicted an encore of his first. They were looking for the infighting, the name-calling, the political trainwreck. “Bring us the next Omarosa!” they demanded.

But the opposite has happened: This time, Trump knows what the heck he’s doing.
