U.S. stocks did not recoil from Trump's electoral victory, instead setting a record for election-to-year-end gains.

The rise of Donald Trump has exposed a deep chasm in America between the haves and have-nots.

Donald Trump doesn't speak like a politician, and that's made some people uncomfortable. In a world of political correctness run amok, his straight talk has been a breath of fresh air.

I have found, in my life experience with President Trump, when he's out there himself and he's being his fresh, authentic self, it's very appealing to the people of the United States.

Mr Trump is a different type of leader not burdened by rigid ideology. He does not think like a politician, nor does he talk or sanctimoniously moralise like one, making him an easy target for demonisation. However, he is an empathetic person who recognises the pain of America's middle class.

I have a lot of family members that served in the American military. I did not serve; I filled out the selective service. It's one of the regrets for my life.
