More quotes by David Brooks
I have come to think we have to treat Donald Trump's tweets like Snapchat. It's just something that is going to go away. And it flies out of some region of his brain and it goes out into the ether. And usually it's on the realm of media.
David Brooks
The moral foundation of the society, the way we interact with each other is more fundamental than the Supreme Court.
David Brooks
Every White House I have covered since Reagan, when I got here, power has been more concentrated in the White House than the one before.
David Brooks
I can't imagine that being in the Trump Cabinet will be a very important job. I do think this will be a White House-run administration with a teeny-tiny group of people surrounding him, including his family maybe.
David Brooks
Most people don't form a self and then lead a life. They are called by a problem, and the self is constructed gradually by their calling.
David Brooks
I've argued that Trump's biggest success in his first 100 days was to keep the Russia story at bay, toss out whatever it takes to push the story back, including those false charges that Obama had his wires tapped.
David Brooks

David Brooks
The gun becomes this psychological totem, this thing of who I am. And it's almost as if using the gun is going to be the thing that's going to be my expression of how I make a difference in the world.
David Brooks
If you're running a successful administration, then you're loyal to people who are basically good who make a mistake. And that seems to be essential for any organization. And it should be essential if this were a normal administration, rather than a fiefdom, where everybody simply tries to give Donald Trump a good headline every day.
David Brooks
... trash talk ... Washington floats on a river of aspersion.
David Brooks
[Donald Trump] will be the one on offense. He will be the one serving volleys, and it may be some weird stuff about the Russians, but he will be controlling things a little more than he probably did over the last two weeks.
David Brooks
I sort of feel we have to owe some respect to the process and owe some respect to the electorate and the people who voted Donald Trump, on the assumption that they have something to teach us.
David Brooks
We shouldn't just allow gay marriage. We should insist on gay marriage. We should regard it as scandalous that two people could claim to love each other and not want to sanctify their love with marriage and fidelity.
David Brooks
Maybe you're willing to tolerate a lot of bigotry from Donald Trump if you say, just change things, just change things.
David Brooks
Liberals lost touch with working-class Americans because they never had to have a conversation about values with those voters they could just rely on the courts to impose their views.
David Brooks
Donald Trump's being authentic to what he ran on and what got elected.
David Brooks
When you get a big crisis, everyone wants somebody with some experience and some credibility.
David Brooks
I think there are two basic approaches you can use for campaign finance. One is complete openness, everybody knows absolutely everything, but no limits. But you let people decide.The other is just have a national public system.
David Brooks
Basically, less educated or high school-educated whites are going to Donald Trump. It doesn't matter what the guy does. And college-educated going to Hillary Clinton.
