Neo-Trumpers: The Next Mutation?

Thomas Knapp: A New York Times columnist offering pointers for “Pitchfork Pat” Buchanan-type populists on “the isolationist right who thought Trump shared his views” might seem akin to a mad scientist named Frankenstein offering a road map to a pitchforks-and-torches peasant mob.  Yet Michelle Goldberg does just that in “The President Was Never Antiwar” (March 2).
