The Presidency has evolved into something a lot more complicated than it was in George Washngtons time, so the most important ability a president can have is a global awareness, and an ability to surround himself with experts. I'm sure Trump is capable of this.
What makes you think so? His calling Mexicans murderers and rapists? His plan to ban all Muslims from entering the country? His suggestion to encourage nuclear proliferation? His call to replace trade agreements with tariffs?

My friend used to say about her teenagers, "It's better you don't like what they're saying, than if they aren't saying anything."
In a way, I feel this way about Trump. I'd rather hear unvarnished truth that makes me wince, than polished politicians, saying what they think I want to hear.
This is the crux of Trumps popularity, I think.

probably never, but i do think it highlights one of trump's faults. he is running in a campaign for POTUS but he won't even do the minimal amount of research to learn the correct pronunciation of an opponents name. it seems to me a lot of trump's views are high on opinion, low on research.


another of trump's faults is constantly contradicting himself. here he starts the statement by claiming he doesn't know the correct pronunciation...... then ends the statement by giving the correct pronunciation.

Here we go again

It's been explained many, many times but you insist on repeating the same old lies. Trump did NOT call all Mexicans "murders and rapists". Nor did he say he would permanently ban Muslims from entering the country. I think you actually know these things but for some reason prefer to repeat lies.

Wait until Wednesday when Trump gives his foreign policy speech to the National Press Club. I am sure he will use a telepromter.
Then you may see (hear) the "presidential" version.
