    He is also studied today as an exemplar of the use of Classical Latin in his many eloquent public speeches and legal cases.

Millions of people voted for him and support him because he says exactly what he will do in a way that is legible. I'm not surprised that the average MMO-Champion user that needs to ramble on and on for 10 paragraphs to express a simple idea prefers politicians who sugarcoat everything bullshit like "we are deeply concerned" and "we have reaffirmed our commitment to pursuing our mutual obligations." Eloquence isn't about rambling endlessly. That's what an English major thinks eloquence is. True eloquence is saying things in a way that is easy to understand.

    Trump is right, migrants need to shut up and put up or get out. If you consider yourself a migrant, you failed to integrate into the host country's culture. People who successfully integrated don't give two shits about their former identities. Successful British Muslims don't consider themselves Muslims. They consider themselves British. It's little twerps who are hellbent on sticking to their precious "migrant communities" who are the problem and they know it. If you are offended by Trump pointing out the problem that you are creating, you're free to return to your country of origin. It's waiting for you with arms wide open.

    This is just too funny... the best deal maker at it again:

    Theresa May has revealed that Donald Trump advised her to “sue the European Union” rather than negotiate with the 27-country bloc, in a private conversation that the US president referred to during his visit to the UK on Friday.

    The prime minister was asked on the BBC’s The Andrew Marr Show what the “brutal” Brexit negotiating advice was that Trump had talked about in their joint press conference outside the prime minister’s Chequers country retreat.

    Revealing it for the first time, May said: “He told me I should sue the EU.” After being prompted by a surprised Marr, May repeated: “Sue the EU, not go into negotiations with them, sue them.”

    The prime minister smiled, and indicated she had disregarded the advice, saying “actually we’re going into negotiations with them”, in remarks that will be interpreted as a put-down of the president.

    More like the Trump way. He's been itching to sue so many people since taking office, but he can't. He only knows he can sue people to try and bully weaker people, but this isn't how it works on a national level. He's so far out of his element that it's like watching a fish jump onto land, try to walk, and refuse to go back into their tiny pond as they struggle to breathe.
