This is a candidate who changed his stand on abortion five times within three days (not to mention several other times in the years prior), and who appears genuinely confused about what his own tax plan does. Ditto with his health-care plan, and his views on high-skilled immigration, and his jumble of foreign policy principles.

That’s not because he’s dumb; it’s because he doesn’t really care.

Trump’s top priorities upon taking office include building a classy new White House ballroom. He likewise wants to construct a 21st-century moat around our southern border. His many residences and private modes of transit are plated in gold. And he’s already quite adept at using public subsidies and government fiats to amass a large and growing land empire.

If these aren’t signs of a person preparing for coronation, I’m not sure what would be.
