There's a vicious cycle with Republican elected officials and Trump. They brought the standards down that (mostly inadvertently) let him in, and he's pulling standards down left and right because of who he is, and they're pulling standards down to accommodate him because they're pot committed, which he takes advantage of, and so on, and so on.
I don't know how much that translates to a lack of standards in the real world, but I have a similar feeling (and possibility of projection) to glatt.
