I think that's sarcasm. The left and MSM can't let go of the caricature of Trump as a dummy. Their egos can't tolerate even the suggestion that he's smarter than them. He's pointing out here (I think), that for a supposed bumbling idiot, Trump sure does seem to be doing exactly everything he needs to do to dismantle the Jew/Intel/Military-Industrial Complex that's seized control of world geopolitical relations. Edit: but then he did say this too:     'I’d argue that under Trump, the national security establishment not only hasn’t missed a beat but indeed has gained dangerous strength.'   Which means he might just be a coping former leftist with no place to call home. Lashing out at Papa Trump rather than understanding that the above could indicate that the "national security establishment", like a rat, is most dangerous when it's under serious threat. He's perhaps mistaking the fearful fury of a doomed animal for "dangerous strength".
