An excerpt from the New York Times -
How Low Can the ‘Presidential’ Bar Go?
By JESSICA BENNETT and AMANDA DUARTE
The old bar: Read speech from teleprompter before members of Congress without ad-libbing.
The new, Trumpian bar: Read speech from teleprompter before members of Congress without ad-libbing repeatedly about the flaws of the opposing candidate you beat nearly four months ago.
The old bar: Inspire viewers with oratorical flair.
The new bar: Prove capable of speaking for 60 minutes without throwing a temper tantrum and ranting about ratings, the failing New York Times, fake news or the size of your inaugural crowd. Bonus points: Refrain, for eight days, from tweeting in ALL CAPS.
