I have not yet watched @Douthat60's interview with President Trump - so I cannot comment on that.
But did you know Douthat also writes allegorical YA fantasy in the tradition of CS Lewis? You can read the first chapter of "The Falcon's Children" here:

Consummately dumb & unprofessional. Way to lose my trust in a flash.
