New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump “just can’t behave in even a modicum of presidentality” and “can always be counted on to cruel to those who are weak” on Friday’s “PBS NewsHour.” Brooks said, “given all that he’s won, and given what everybody, including his wife apparently, is telling him, be more presidential, he can’t control himself. He can’t control himself temperamentally, with the aggressive attacks on everybody. He can’t control his own ignorance, which causes the abortion statements. And so he is a perpetual destabilizer, just at the moment when frankly, a lot of the party were ready to submit to him, and he just can’t behave in even a modicum of presidentality.” Brooks added that Trump “feels no compunction, [to read up on issues] and his knowledge base is minuscule. We’ve seen it in every single interview. It’s just minuscule. But there is a consistency to donald trump. He can always be counted on to cruel to those who are weak. And a woman in that situation [having an abortion] is weak. And so no moral alarm bells went off when he said that, which they would to a normal human being.
