That is a major failing for "the leader of the free world".

This is exactly what he said. Go back and listen to Trump's actual words, rather than the media distortions. Actually Trump was not vague on this subject. The distortions may be, but he was not.

The reason for the discrepancy is simple. I prefer someone who speaks from the heart. You prefer polished script written by expert speech writers, vetted by political experts. Trump says what he means and means what he says. You call that offensive and a major failure.

I prefer his blunt style to the doublespeak demagoguery which tickles the ears. Obama made us endless promises, none of which he ever intended to fulfill because, of course, he was just reading off the teleprompter.
