Donald Trump has proven to be a disaster for much of the world - Yorkshire Post Letters

From: David Quarrie, Lynden Way, Holgate, York.

The USA is a nation of just over 170 million population yet they have twice chosen Donald Trump as their President. This man has proved to be a disaster for much of the world and to much of America.

This man's reactions and his general behaviour are so at odds with what is recognisable or what could be accounted for - his issues with factual accuracy are as confounding to people around him, his supporters and are appalled by the liberal press.

Almost all politicians are seen as difficult and dangerous and damaged people, but Trump is in a class of his own. He has to be ‘centre stage’, get his own way or else he will sulk, use vile language and go on a rant and hire and fire folk, especially lawyers, like there is no tomorrow. He cannot be relied on. What he says on Monday, is denied on Wednesday but then on Friday is acted on.

Some of the things he says about women, climate change and ‘peace’ deals are utterly nonsensical. He really believes he had an election ‘stolen’ from him, that he deserves a peace prize and is quite right to interfere in a football World Cup disciplinary decision.

His war on Iran is just plain stupid as are all the boasts of winning and totally wrecking Iran and its' grim regime. He benefits his enemies more than his allies.

It is hard to imagine a worse leader of the free world. America's standing in the world must be at an all-time low. The world is in a huge mess, the future looks grim, where is the clean, decent, healthy way out of this mire of filth?
