 Firstly it's an opinion piece 
If you're unsure what that means please look it up


Secondly it's actually by a Sunday Times employee , which is a murdoch owned paper and isn't favourably disposed to labour and worried they may gain power 

The author of that piece references the recent eulogies given at George H W funeral were soaring in their nature and the audience may be identifying more with what he calls Trump the outsider than the Late GHW Bush referencing a piece from wapo 
 I listened to all four eulogies and I'm not a Republican 
Meacham who he is talking about, is a presidential historian with an in-depth view of former WH incumbents 
He has quite a self deprecating sense of humour . His speech was as most are on such occasions, sombre, sometimes amusingly anecdotal and positive 
The other speakers include an ex senator who knew GHW when they were in Congress together and shared his memories of their time 
He was also sharing often amusing anecdotes. An ex Canadian PM also gave a speech as did Bush 43, GHWs son
They were distinctly non political in the sense of not drawing in current politics.In fact Trump had reportedly insisted there should be no adverse mention of him or inference in the slightest, or he would not attend 



The author references Trump as an outsider, and suggests the audience might be more supportive of his views than of the eulogies given to GHW 
 whilst Trump might be an outsider in some senses ....he was previously supportive of chuck shumer, pelosi and the Clinton's believe it or not, and toyed with the idea of trying to run on the democrat ticket till rebuffed. Hes a self claimed billionaire so hardly a conventional  outsider or a populist in his background 


 I don't think a claim of support for Palestinian organisations automatically translates to anti-Semitism , there are those who practice Judaism who express similar views 
The author suggests numerous people would leave the UK if Corbyn was elected. I doubt it would be a tidal wave 

The author mentions elsewhere about the Pittsburgh shootings but makes no reference about the climate and political divisions which helped those who committed the act of terror . He appears more concerned with what he terms Corbyns leftism views than he does over the climate which fostered a person to enter a synagogue and kill 11 people in a brutal act which appears absent from his writings in terms of context

There are those who were members of the Jewish community who expressed grave concerns on Trumps rhetoric in the light of the killing of 11 Jews in morning worship by a gunman only a few months ago, who appears to believe the alt right propaganda about Soros and immigrants and also those who were marching earlier in Charlottesville with anti Semitic slogans who Trump called 'some fine people' 

 

I don't recall any comparison here in recent history 
He's the new Washington correspondent for the ST and seems to be out of step with American traditions
