Trump's Jamestown Remarks
Though Trump's remarks at Jamestown were interrupted by a protester, whose protest has received a lot of attention on the internet, and with which I am very much in sympathy, Trump's remarks, on this occasion, were quite commendable and even inspirational. This 23 minute video is worth viewing and listening to, in my opinion. If Trump had anything to do with writing these remarks, he deserves kudos for it.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

When Trump sticks with reading the teleprompter and someone has written a good speech he can pull it off... providing his mind does not wander and he goes impromptu with his own thoughts.

Yeah, I have little doubt that sticking to what he read on the teleprompter is probably the only reason his speech came off so well. Even that alone would be somewhat commendable of him, though. I have to admit I would be amazed if he actually did compose those remarks himself, but if he did, he deserves kudos for it.
