A clean shave for President Trump — but not a free one

But to hope that he fails as president is to bet against the country. As President Obama said at his White House meeting with Trump, “We are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country.”

.. A clean shave should not be a free one. The price for Trump must be, first, a recognition of reality: that a majority of voters did not support him — indeed, that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Second, Trump as president-elect, and as president, must demonstrate some comprehension of constitutional norms.
