    I wonder if Donald Trump can even write, given the level of education and grasp (or lack of) of the English language that he scarcely has a way.

    My grandad told me that before my time politicians wanted to build a natural gas storage repository in Dublin bay despite it having a history of tremors and underwater quakes.
