The World At HomeWhile I await Beto O’Rourke’s decision whether or not to run for US President in 2020, I want to resume my discussion of some of the myths Donald Trump has continued to promote during his presidency. But before I continue: if you are wondering how such a bold-faced liar could have ever been elected, you must first understand how ill-informed roughly half of American voters are.

The World At Home: Improving lives for asylum seekers is no ‘pull factor’When I worked as a Minister of State in the Department of Justice from 2014 to 2016, myself and my team used to joke that the officials should paint the words ‘pull factor’ in six-feet-high letters in every meeting room.
The World At Home : Charles Laffiteau's Bigger PictureThe Trump property at 40 Wall Street in New York City has long been the current US president’s most valuable single asset. But many real estate professionals now argue that the 30 per cent stake Donald Trump holds in Vornado Realty Trust is actually worth more than the Trump Building or Trump Tower.
Charles Laffiteau's Bigger Picture: The World at HomeWhat is US President Donald Trump more afraid of? That Robert Mueller’s investigation would uncover more ties between his business interests and Russian mobsters? Or that Mueller would reveal he is worth far less than the $10bn he claims? Or is he more afraid of the general public discovering he is now and has always been far less wealthy than he professes to be?
