Donald Trump in bid to ease followers’ concerns

Donald Trump is seeking to quell concerns that he lacks the discipline or policy know-how to make a competent president, even as the list of fellow Republicans deeming him unfit for the Oval Office grows.

Maine senator Susan Collins, a moderate long wary of Mr Trump, became the latest Republican to announce her intent not to vote for her party’s nominee.

Days after rebuking Mr Trump for insinuating Somali refugees in Maine were dangerous, Ms Collins said she had thought “long and hard” about whether she was obligated to support the nominee and decided she could not.
