Following the latest developments in Donald Trump’s US Presidential campaign — including the departure of his campaign strategist Paul Manafort and a possible shift in The Donald’s approach — I have spoken with BBC outlets and had an 8-minute discussion with Monocle 24 about what comes next.

The takeaway line, spurred by BBC’s Coventry introduction invoking The West Wing: “Donald Trump ain’t no Josiah Bartlett”, the calm, thoughtful President of the TV series.
