We need Chuck to run for president. I'm not sure he would want to take
the pay cut though.

Can you imagine negotiating a treaty or trade deal with this guy?
The art of diplomacy is important and if you cannot do that dance I
have to imagine that no progress can be made.

From a foreign view Trump looks like a comedian with a bad ghost writer.
We’ve strange politicians here too but looking at Trump I cant believe how
this „appearance“ is tolarated by a big american party.
I am astonished how deep american candidates have to give up their
private sphere and how
e.g. Clinton has to make open her emails. And then I see this
candidate who is in now way
a nice person and nobody wants him as his neighbor.
I guess this is due the modern media companies. They get more attention
doing horseplay than showing boring political work.

Trump is a “populist” aka demagogue. He reminds me of Latin American
demagogues like Peron and Chavez. You may say they were socialists
and Trump is a conservative, but demagogues say whatever people want
to hear. Trump is hardly alone.

One interesting sub-topic was Donald Trump, and an examination of
72 statements from the Donald. Of the 72 statement examined by
Politifact.org
<http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2013/nov/01/principles-politifact-punditfact-and-truth-o-meter/>,
exactly zero of the statements was considered "true". About 4% of
his statements were considered "partially true", but 84% of his
statements were "mostly false", "false", or "pants on fire".
