Trump is the real deal. He's far from perfect just like anyone.
At a high level, he seems like the only one who doesn't lie with every word that comes out of his mouth.
As an observer from north of the border, I can't say I have the same faith in the conservative party here. I can't believe in a leader who doesn't know how to pronounce his own last name. I know some may think its a petty point, however, its matter of confidence.
Trump may not be an academic, but he doesn't pretend to be one either!
