Yeah, it is an embarrassment on the international level. 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.

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. Von: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] Im Auftrag von Ken Hohhof Gesendet: Sonntag, 13.

You may say they were socialists and Trump is a conservative, but demagogues say whatever people want to hear. Trump is hardly alone.

It's a discussion about "Lies", and humans inability to just tell the truth. http://www.onthemedia.org/story/on-the-media-2015-12-04/ One interesting sub-topic was Donald Trump, and an examination of 72 statements from the Donald. Of the 72 statement examined by Politifact.org, 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". -- bp<part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com>
