   I have heard Trump speak and compared to his predecessor its absolutely scholarly.  Obama hesitated and 'choked' his way thru almost every news conference. He was so afraid to offend the 'thought police' in liberal land that he resorted to halted sentences, occasional  stuttering and the overly self -conscious effort at watching  his p's and q's  and it was painful to watch.  He knew it too.  I heard Obama say once, that the reason he was so cautious at speaking was to not cause alarm and panic in the world.  Trump has blown that theory away. It proves the old adage, 'Actions' still speak louder than 'words'. We had 8 years of a President who liked to draw a red line and when confronted, would just move the line backwards. Its what the world has come to expect. Soon though, the talk will end and  'action' will replace the words. North Korea and Iran will yearn for the good old days of 'talk'. Its not too late for them, though, to start behaving and shape up.
