If Donald Trump were president

Billionaire
Republican front-runner Donald Trump as president would be problematic for the US on many fronts. It presages multiple negative consequences at home and abroad that are mind-boggling.
Before a crowd of about 2,000 some days ago at the Georgia Congress Center, Atlanta, I witnessed Trump mesmerise the audience with a series of disjointed platitudes that defied any logic. Skipping from here and yonder, he brandished his narcissism, boasting of his business acumen and leadership skills. The hyperbolic diatribe went beyond the pale of decency. It was not comical.
