To assert that you're a conservative because you support Donald Trump is to abandon the principals of conservatism! William F. Buckley must be turning in his grave! Survey any group of Trump supporters, such as those who continue to egg him on at those unscripted rallies (as if such a sideshow were even necessary for a president) and I would proffer that few understand, or even subscribe to, the National Review.

Donald J. Trump is a pure huckster, a misogynistic self-promoting gameshow host and flimflammer who became an accidental president. He has demonstrated, for bad or good, that one need not have any demonstrated qualifications, whether intellectual or temperamental, to lead (if that’s what you call it) a nation. The emperor has no clothes and his undaunted supporters, whether they recognize it or not, are his tailors.
