Considering how he (in my view) came out of nowhere to run for President, and then got elected, I've felt that he had some powerful backers who are running things behind the scenes. I'm not saying that he doesn't have some great abilities as a speaker (there is a thread about his use of hand gestures and phrases and NLP tehniques that are useful for getting anyone who watches and listens to you to start thinking whatever you're saying is right) but he is obviously out of his league dealing with real problems and other threats to our nation on a national and international scale.
I agree with your comments.
