Opinion: Trump boldly asserts that he has learned nothing these past two years
By Michael Gerson Michael Gerson Columnist Email Bio Follow Columnist March 4 at 5:38 PM “A great empire and little minds go ill together,” said Edmund Burke.
As the organizing structure of the speech, Trump skipped from enemy to enemy — a taunt here, a mock there. Hillary Clinton made an appearance. As did Robert S. Mueller III and Jeff Sessions, and Central American refugees, and weak-kneed generals, and socialist Democrats, and university administrators, and those horrible people who miscount inaugural crowds.
The speech seemed like the rhetorical spawn of Fidel Castro and George Wallace, combining demagoguery with bigotry in equal measure. And it confirmed Trump’s place as the worst speaker in presidential history. A democracy is designed for disagreement; it is undermined by mutual contempt. And Trump’s whole style of politics is the cultivation of contempt. This directly weakens our unity as a nation.
