Column: Donald Trump and the assumption of knowledge
Mar. 9, 2016Since Donald Trump has been ever-present in the headlines lately, and because most Republicans don’t know whether to endorse him or run in the opposite direction, it is clearly time to discuss Trump’s greatest weakness: his inability to answer questions in a way that shows he has a firm grasp of the issues at hand.
