Harwood contrasts efforts to unite a divided country by presidents going all the way back to FDR with Trump's constant efforts to divide the country, please his supporters, and antagonize his political opponents. He quotes Peggy Noonan, who predictably praised Ronald Reagan before saying:
"A president doesn't have to be brilliant," Noonan wrote 25 years ago. "He doesn't have to be clever. You can hire clever. But you can't buy courage and decency, and you can't rent a strong moral sense. A president must bring those things with him."
