Michael Gerson

People who praise me have good judgment. Thus, people who praise me make good deals. Hearing these sentiments from an American president is enough to gag a historian. It is pathetic gullibility elevated into the realm of theory. It should concern us that the American president is a source of global derision and national shame.
We have plumbed the shallows of his boasts. They are refuted lies. And whatever else the president may be, he is a fraud.
