Charles Cooke Emphatically Confirms Haberman: 'The Scale of Trump's Delusion is Astounding'

Maggie Haberman is right. That’s the four-word summary of a report from National Review’s Charles Cooke on the news this week that ex-president Donald Trump is operating under the delusion that he will be “reinstated” to office this summer.

Yes, “delusion” is the correct word. So is “report.” Cooke’s piece is not an op-ed and you’ll note no opinion tag above on ours, either. Because it is a fact that Trump won’t be “reinstated” to office. His belief otherwise is delusional. Or apocalyptic to democracy, take your pick.

Charles Cooke’s conservative bona fides are not in question, nor should that be pertinent, except to say that it creates the journalism equivalent of a bipartisan consensus. A nice structure for the facts, from a political standpoint, but does not change the facts.

The other facts from Haberman’s reporting that Cooke confirms in his article are the depth and extent of the delusion and the appropriateness of the word “operating” above. Because it is not merely a thought but a mission that Trump and his operation are undertaking.
