Straight-talking Trump is shaking up world politics

POLITICIANS around the world cannot cope with Donald Trump’s simple solutions to problems (“Smiles and selfies before Trump and Kim summit”, June 12).

He is dead right when he says America has been taken for a mug for years. Establishment politicians around the world should get real but I think they will not change and will wait until Trump leaves office in the hope that America will once again begin to look after other countries and their endless begging letters.
