Trump is great because he calls a spade a spade, which is unheard of in Western politics, says Prof James Alexander. What's more, sometimes, as we saw with Iran, he refuses, like the philosopher, to take sides.

Druids Glen golf club to sell off portraits of seven 1916 signatories Paintings of Rising leaders no

Paintings of Rising leaders no longer suit the 'ambience' of prestigious resort

Their portraits have graced the stairs of the clubhouse, Woodstock House, since it opened in 1995. However, they no longer suit the "ambience" and will be put up for auction later this month.
