Even 18 months into his presidency, the world is still having trouble coming to grips with Donald Trump, the most unconventional president ever. Still, he’s not a bad dream from which America will soon wake up, or a fool to be ridiculed.

For someone the legion of critics say is a compulsive liar, he’s been remarkably true to his word.

Especially compared with his predecessor, Trump doesn’t moralise. It’s classic Trump to be openly exasperated by the G7’s hand-wringing hypocrisy.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

"Erratic and ill-disciplined though he often seems, there’s little doubt that Trump is well on his way to being a consequential president. On all the evidence so far, when he says something, he means it, and when he consistently says something it will happen."
