Few people in history have had more words written about them than Donald Trump. And perhaps it is in the nature of things that much of what is written is uninformed, half-informed or mal-informed.
But reading British reactions to Trump’s historic re-election landslide this month, it is still striking how little effort there is in this country actually to understand what Trump is about or what he wants to achieve.
Just one reason why this is strange is that Trump tends to say what he wants in very plain English. And then he does what he says he’ll do.
