Trump talks the language of raw emotion of a black and white world. He does not need a lot of words. By all accounts, whatever his linguistic skills, his communication has been as effective as it has needed to be up to this point.FrancisUrquhart said:
But he says he is very clever, because he knows lots of words...he just appears unwilling to use them.David_Evershed said:Trump uses a very limited vocabulary.

'A first daughter.' FGS. This family have literally invented that as a thing.0

Or, he just prefers speaking plain old English that he knows most of the US understands and appreciates. After all, predistribution & "post-neoclassical endogenous growth theory didn’t help Labour when push came to shove...FrancisUrquhart said:

Ms. Apocalypse, didn't Kennedy have a similar thing? Sure I read somewhere one of the 60s presidents had their daughter in a not-quite-official role.
Mr. Rex, indeed

"First Daughters" does make them sound like a sacrificial offering to the Gods for a good harvest.

Think yourself lucky that you're too young to remember his internet spat with a gay rights campaigner back in 2003, back when 'social media' didn't exist and people were trying to outrank each other in search engines.The_Apocalypse said:Watching CNN now. Forgot that Rick Santorum was even a thing.

That link mentions First-daughters as in the daughter of the President. Not first-daughter as in has a role comparable to the first-lady. Sasha and Malia Obama are in that tag, they were not involved as political advisors to Barack Obama, obviously.RobD said:

Teddy Roosevelt's daughter, Alice, accompanied Taft on his major trip to Japan and was something of a super emissary for the US. They visited Japan, Hawaii, China, the Philippines, and Korea in 1905.The_Apocalypse said:

I'm not sure what the big deal is? It's basically the same as what the US does for H1B, which is $6,325 if you have more than 25 employees ($5,575 for those with fewer).Scott_P said:twitter.com/seanjonesqc/status/819242970243334144
Edit: for companies with a small number of foreign workers the figure is $2,325 for large companies, $1,575 for smaller ones. Still more than the UK proposal.
Edit2: Oh, it's per year! OK, that is a lot different, the figures are above are every three years.0 -

The way Trump's going I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen [an official 'first-daughter office]. He'd probably say he's doing it to 'make America great again.'RobD said:

Well he's not far wrong.williamglenn said:
The Editor of Buzzfeed admitted that their whole article on Trump was a fable from start to finish.
The BBC keeps up an anti Trump line every day, and repeats every wild statement as though fact.
And CNN cannot speak a true word.0 -

I'm from the centrist right and I think he's, to put it charitably, a bullying, egocentric, potentially corrupt loose cannon. His lack of appeal spreads far and wide.Big_G_NorthWales said:Trump adamant that anyone who puts car manufacturing into Mexico will see very large taxes for selling into the US. BMW intend building a factory in Mexico - how much tax are they going to pay to sell into the US
Trump just refused a question from an angry journalist by saying 'You are fake news'
The World order is going to change big time with Trump's Presidency and it looks like the liberal left are going to have a collective breakdown
Corrupt in not the sense of paying or taking cash but finding that people go easy on Trump corp activities in the hope of recieving favour elsewhere, so FCPA corruption. He'll claim that he has no control or knowledge of Trump corp activities but, really.0 -

Forecasting is valueless without associated timing. Sterling will fall 10%, Sterling will appreciate 10% will both be correct sometime. Pretending that the doom and gloom crystal ball gazers weren't actually that wrong because sometime they will be right defines their worth. It was the consumers wot did it.0
