The morning after Trump's first debate with Hillary Clinton, I had a conversation with a good friend of mine who was quite pro-Trump. This guy was the first person I saw to make the unambiguous case that Trump could win the White House and he was—and is—deeply sympathetic to the entire nationalist project.

And on the morning after that first debate, he said to me—and here I'm paraphrasing:

Well, he obviously can't be president. He's obviously, flatly unfit for office. Nobody that stupid should ever be allowed within a mile of the presidency. And nobody looking at that performance in good faith could possibly deny any of this.

That's the basic fact of Trump's presidency. People have accommodated themselves to reality, because Trump is the president. But by any objective measure, he's utterly, completely, undeniably unfit for office at the most basic level.

There were people who hoped that the office of the president would elevate Trump. Instead, quite the opposite has happened.
