Donald Trump is in the news

Trump is the Republic party candidate for the presidential election in November. His campaign has been tracked with ongoing disbelief from the outset. He continues to confuse and shock the world but maybe not his intended audience with his words. Here is a neat description of him by Rupert Cornwall in the Independent:

Before he entered the race, he was merely the flashy, ever-bragging entrepreneur, with a knack for TV. Now we know Trump the politician. He’s shown himself to be incapable of self-discipline for more than five minutes. His relationship with the truth is next to non-existent.

He’s got an incredibly thin skin. He never lets an insult go unreturned. He lacks uttterly that vital political skill of sometimes turning the other cheek. And, even though he’s hopelessly ignorant on policy matters, he seems unwilling to listen to advisers, convinced that he himself is the source of ultimate wisdom on all matters.
