Why on earth is this child given air time? If he carries on like this next month the world could be at its end by March He obviously has a huge ego but a teeny tiny amount of common sense.

I think Mr Trump's people need to give him some lessons on public speaking.
Mr Trump is not holding forth in his boardroom, where everyone listens and nods, he is talking to the world's media, and they will not bow and scrape as he is used to.
But the most important thing Mr Trump needs to learn is to curtail his stream-of-consciousness when he is speaking.
At the moment, a constant stream of thought comes out, which he is obviously thinking as he is speaking, and this leads to the abandonment of simple speech patterns, including sticking with the subject and not rambling.
But the biggest fault in Mr Trump's delivery is not so much the nonsense he talks, it is his inability to finish one sentence and start another one.

Talbot - // think Mr Trump's people need to give him some lessons on public speaking.
Quite right, he will never win an election with a delivery like ... oh hang on //
This is nothing to do with winning the election, this is about being the President, and all the differences that position is going to incur for Mr trump.
If he wants to ramble on in his various board rooms because he is in charge, and his default position is all transmit and no receive - no-one outside those board rooms is ever going to even know how he behaves, much less care.
The difference now is that as holder of the highest office of state in the free world, every single thing President Trump says and does is going to scrutinised, analysed, attacked, defended, commented on - in short, Mr Trump cannot open his mouth without what he says, and the way he says it being heard by the free world.
On that basis, his current style of speech and delivery are absolutely not fit for purpose and he has to adjust them, and quickly.
If he wants to be taken seriously as President and world statesman, he needs to start thinking, speaking and acting like a President and world statesman.
Being a boorish thin-skinned nasty xenophobic chauvinistic stupid bully may have got him the post - but it will not assist him in keeping it.

YMB - //My what a lefty love in this thread started out as. //
This is nothing to do with Mr Trump being attacked because he is right-wing - it is to do with his unsuitability for the office to which he is going to be elected.
// The Donald is going to be President. //
Giving him a catchy nickname does not improve his ability or suitability.
// He is going to shake out the lefty liberal elite trash. //
His actions remain to be seen - remember the large number of campaign 'promises' that have quietly evaporated since the election.
// He is not going to be like any other President; which to many people is a good thing. //
And to many more, it is a bad thing.
// Get used to it. //
We may not have to if he carries on as he has thus far.

Andy -Hughes....a good post to which i would agree.
However, Trump is an example of "what you see is what you get" he hasn't changed his persona throughout the Primaries, throughout the election and this has been taken on by the American electorate, by their method of electoral procedure and they like what they see.
Americans are no fools in my opinion and they have weighed up the cons against |Trump as you eloquently posted above.....and still like what they see.

The latest allegations about Trump are not 'fake news'
They contain unsubstantiated allegations which may or may not be true, but that isn't the same thing.
I do wonder what goes through your mind when you posts this drivel.
Buzzfeed's editor ''serious reasons to doubt the allegations''
They spent weeks trying to prove the allegations, came up with zilch and still decided to publish them. There really isn't much hope for the world one one side of the coin cannot see they are equally as bad as the other.
Trump's world could come crashing down for all I care but to try and make it happen on spurious bullcrap is not the way to go.
Save your sleen for when you have something concrete to vent it on.

Sqad - I take your point - but Mr Trump is not going to be dealing with his mass of subordinates who simply agree with him.
He is going to be dealing, first and foremost with The Senate, whose default position is not to nod and smile when the President speaks.
After that, he is going to be dealing with other world leaders, a number of which will not take kindly to his policies, even if they were delivered in a proper dignified statesmanlike manner - much less if they are put across by a finger-wagging, arm-waving, thought-streaming braggart who clearly likes the sound of no-one else's voice better than his own.
