No amount of sanewashing can obscure the fact that the elevators in Trump Tower no longer appear to go to the top floor.
Exactly 10 years have passed since first I came face to face with Donald J. Trump. Meeting outside the golden doors of his elevators in Trump Tower just nine months before he descended his golden escalator, the future president could not have been more charming.
So what version of Trump would we see in the White House, I naively pondered after his shock victory against Hillary Clinton? The sensible or the swaggering? The lucid or the loudmouthed? Within minutes of him taking the oath of office came the answer, as he ranted about “American carnage” and then fumed about media coverage of his meagre inaugural crowd size.
But to cover his presidency was also to watch his mental decline. I cannot be sure, but I very much doubt that the Trump I met in 2014 would have suggested injecting bleach to fend off a deadly virus. Yet that was his wacky quackery when COVID struck six years later. Nor could staring directly at the sun without glasses during a solar eclipse or suggesting hurricanes could be blasted with nuclear weapons be described as acts of a self-styled “very stable genius”.
