What standard matters to you Bill, throw out the names, what do you expect?    I know that all politicians are 'indirect' which is a nice way of saying they have their reasons for not telling you something.     We do that in our own daily relationships, but nobody cares what we say.      

But Trump just makes thing up that don't happen?   It's not avoidance it's just bald faced lying, the only excuse being that he's done it so long in his life as salesman and tv star, that he isn't really conscious he's lying?   Or, and this is pretty well know, he has no real interest in history, political processes, international law, or even macro economic systems.   

Trump is woefully unprepared for the work expected, requires that taxpayers maintain his 'luxary level' of lifestyle, and doesn't do any problem solving except by command.

He has gone farther in enforcing immigration law than I expected,  the consequences aren't know yet and probably won't be until the NAFTA agreement is reworked.
