How Trump echoed George W. Bush

Though press reports in the days leading up to Trump's big speech on Islam identified senior adviser and travel-ban architect Stephen Miller as the primary author of the remarks, the president did not speak as an American nationalist, provoking an international uproar by stating or implying that Islam as such poses a mortal threat to the Western world. And though the American people have just endured two weeks of stupefying behavior on the part of the president, Trump managed to deliver the speech competently and without diverging from the text in ways that highlight his stunning intellectual and temperamental lack of fitness for the job he holds.
