Sir — This refers to the editorial, “The Trump convention” (July 22). For all his intemperate utterances, Donald Trump has crossed yet another hurdle and the most crucial one before America goes to polls in November. Not that his nomination was wholly unexpected. But the question is: Will Trump adopt more sober positions now that he is the official Republican candidate, or will he continue with his inflammatory trumperyIJ
For all those who favour progressive politics, the prospect of Trump being at the helm of the world’s sole superpower is disturbing. While according to most pundits, Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton still leads, election day can produce surprises; the Brexit experience immediately springs to mind.
