Donald Trump is impulse-driven, ignorant, narcissistic and intellectually dishonest. So you’d think that those of us in the anti-Trump camp would go out of our way to show we’re not like him — that we are judicious, informed, mature and reasonable.
But the events of the past week have shown that the anti-Trump echo chamber is becoming a mirror image of Trump himself — overwrought, uncalibrated and incapable of having an intelligent conversation about any complex policy problem.
For example, there’s a complex policy problem at the heart of this week’s Iran episode. Iran is not powerful because it has a strong economy or military. It is powerful because it sponsors militias across the Middle East, destabilizing regimes and spreading genocide and sectarian cleansing.

Speak for yourself Mr Brooks.
No Mr. Brooks, you were always dumber than you thought we were.
I got news for you Mr. Brooks, you were stupid WAY before Trump became President
Don’t kid yourself David, you were stupid before Trump.
“Know thyself” certainly escapes this fool.
President Trump has not made anybody stupid but he has exposed the stupidity of elected democrats, the deep state and their allies in the media like Brooks.
Not going to read the article. David Brooks, you were already stupid. Trump merely exposed your stupidity to the world.
You can slice the jealousy from these nabobs with a chain saw. Truly pitiful.
I sense a theme here.
I hope the last thought in Mr. Brooks mind when he dies is “Why was I here?”
Zero for four, ten words in.
Can’t read the article. Behind a pay-wall. What’s the rest of it say?
David beginning his journey in understanding his own stupidity.
A good enema pumping of his brain would help him along.
Pray..... we could be close to a miracle
Oh, don’t sell yourself short, David! You and your narcissistic, liberal media bubble pals were incredibly stupid long before Trump came on the scene. He just helps you make it more obvious.
They've been watching the President up close and personal for more than 3 years -- and they still have no idea who he is. They don't understand him at all.

At least he’s not pretending to be objective.
Judicious informed mature and reasonable
Like.Robert DeNiro
I despise David Brooks. He should turn in his “conservative” card.
Democrats have been stupid for a long, long time and getting stupider every day. Just think how stupid your average democrat is. Now realize that half of them are even stupider than that.
