Trump's AIPAC talk

Republican presidential candidate front-runner Donald Trump spoke for over 23 minutes at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on Monday.

It's worth listening to in full.

It is scary. Trump reads from a prompter. The Republican presidential candidate has frightening similarities with another man. Trump roars and screams in favour of the Jewish community. The other man screamed and roared against the Jewish community. But their vitriol and marching to a 'promised land' are too similar for comfort.

Trump's certainty, his hatred for President Barack Obama, all his razzmatazz is shocking.

And to watch the crowd screaming with their applause makes it all even more worrying.
