Isn't it time for him to go home yet? It is good, in theory, that the new President of the United States is taking so much time to tour Europe. He arrived in London last Tuesday, has been to Strasbourg, Prague yesterday and now he's off to Turkey. It shows, I suppose, that he cares about the outside world and that is 'A Good Thing'. But his long stay means that we are hearing rather a lot from him, way too much in fact.
His speeches have long under-delivered, usually leaving a faintly empty sensation in this listener even though I welcomed, moderately, his victory last year as offering the possibility of a fresh start and a boost to confidence.
Yet, we are told that he is a great orator and in one way he certainly is. He does have a preternatural calm in the spotlight and a mastery of the cadences we associate with the notable speakers in US history - such as JFK and MLK. But beyond that, am I alone in finding him increasingly to be something of a bore?

But you guys are supposed to love him. He doesn’t want to come back to reality, he likes just another council tenancy.
bttt
He IS an absolute, empty-suit, flatus filled bore.
I was hoping they would keep him!
You should read the Craigslist "Rants and Raves" from London.
I like him out of the country.
He’s just letting Europe get their money’s worth. Hopefully they will decide not to help so much by donating during our next election.
