I suppose that is when he starts WW3.
He is unorthodox Devo, I'll give him that....

And by not attending he has proved himself not to be a hypocrite as others have done.

He has only his own interests at heart, he couldn't give a toss about the average American, especially those who are not white. His principles are fluid, often leading to him changing policy within 24 hrs of the initial statement, usually by tweet.

He is a disaster, not only for the US but for the World. His demise would be a blessing, a massively good thing, where is a righteous assassin when you want one?
That is a really ugly remark. Tut,Tut

Okay, it would make steel more expensive but when you consider the loss of employment of tax paying workers, not to mention the loss of skills that go with the decline of a specialised industry. Then there are the peripheral businesses providing services to the steel industry, such as small manufacturers and even shops.

He has banned visitors from certain countries where terrorism is suspected. Who in British government is brave enough to suggest such a radical policy?
Terrorists are being produced at home I hear you say. So what does that say about our vetting system over the years.

The majority of Americans voted for him and he has fulfilled most of his promises despite massive opposition. People seem to focus more on the superficial side of Trump without looking at the progress he has made. Okay, he may frequent twitter and play golf but he sure gets important things done. He's doing well as far as I can see....
100% correct IMO

Actually, 100% incorrect. The majority of Americans voted for Hilary Clinton. It was the arcane workings of the electoral college that swung it for Trump.
