of bbc world service. donald trump first, and as he begins the job of being 45th president of the united states, to paraphrase a question from the presidential debates, let s start by saying something nice, positive or hopeful about the new president. this is going to and stretch for you, but have a go! after that inaugural speech in which he reached out to nobody at all, in which he trashed all of the previous presidents sitting around him very politely, i think the only thing we can seriously hope for is that this meglomaniac will overreach himself to such a degree that he will be impeached as soon as possible, hopefully before that four years is up. and that he will simply be removed. he is utterly unfit to be president of the united states and i think we saw that writ large in his speech which was the most outrageously ungracious speech i think probably any president has ever made at an inauguration. john, i challenge to you do a bit better than that, just a possibi ....
