Took me a few minutes to digest this column. 
While Gerson is a Post columnist, ( From Wikipedia...) "He helped write George W. Bush's controversial second inaugural address that called for neo-conservative intervention and nation building around the world to effect the spread of democracy to third world countries".
Didn't trust him then, don't trust him now. I think the last paragraph could be a description of many of those who voted for Trump, and George W. Bush, for that matter.
