He makes a few decent points but I don't think it's that strong an explanation really. Especially on foreign policy he seems a bit muddled - he attacks 'the regressive left' for blaming the West for the problems in the Middle East but its Trump who has accused Obama and Hilary of 'creating' ISIS. It's crazy to think that Trump will be a beacon of moral judgement in foreign affairs as well, standing up to every repressive regime around the globe and condemning all their abuses. He's already made it clear that he wants to get on well with Putin and says he'd be happy to meet with Kim Jong-un. In practice I'm sure he'd continue America's alliance with Saudi as well because its not realistic to refuse to work with Islamic countries unless they share all your values.

His main reason for supporting Trump really seems to be as a reaction to 'the intellectually stifling PC culture of the left' and because he sees it as sticking two fingers up to those he went to college with. There's not really a positive case for a Trump presidency here. Like Trump he just relies on painting the bleakest picture possible of both the US and the world, maybe he does identify issues that Hilary avoids but if he does become President he'll soon find out that finding solutions is a lot harder than finding problems.
