This single week shows us why Donald Trump is unfit for high office | Observer editorial
The half-real, half-fake impresario president was apparently the only one blind to disaster being heaped upon disaster
Roger Ailes, the ogre-like head of Fox News who resigned following allegations of sexual harassment, had a favourite saying: “If you want a career in television, first run for president.” His friend Donald Trump took his advice. Trump, reportedly, did not expect to win the presidency in 2016. His preferred post-election plan was to launch his own TV network, with himself as the star turn.
It would have been a better outcome. From the moment he entered the Oval Office, Trump has produced daily proof of his unfitness for the job. He evidently dislikes the hard work, duties and responsibilities it entails. He spends more time away from the White House, at his private resorts and golf courses, than any recent predecessor. And despite potential conflicts of interest, he continues to oversee his business empire.
