EXCERPT:

CLEMONS: “I don’t mean to sound harsh about this, but I think that people’s fears about Donald Trump is he’s sort of a 70-year-old impulsive adolescent and they hope that things like North Korea and others are helping him to evolve, to mature, to get more serious, to get more measured. And so we saw that in the interview with Reuters, is that he had a lot of elements of control and focus and then he broke out of it. So there’s a little bit of both sides of that and it’s what makes people wonder whether he’s got, you know, the patience and seriousness for the job in the long run."
