We almost made it through the first weekend of Trump without a problem. Almost. Then the toys started getting thrown out of the Presidential Pram.

And we learned a new phrase. That may define the up-coming term of presidency. I hope not, but you kind’a think it will. Coined yesterday by child-of-the-devil Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager and, I think, one-time Rosemary’s Baby, when interviewed on tv and presented with ‘the cold facts’ which she was disputing, came up with the term ‘alternative facts’. Oh. Other facts. Different ones. From the ones that actually happened. Alternative. Ok.

According to the ‘facts’ from the White House Briefing Room, between 250,000 and 720,000 people attended the Trump inauguration at the Capitol. Whereas in Obama’s first win there were 1.8 million. Yet Trump’s team claimed his turn-out to be ‘the biggest in history’ and the press was conspiring to demean the presidency.

The President needs no help from anyone in demeaning this presidency; he’s doing fine all by hisself.

And so begins the fun. Because like all children, Trump is paranoid. He sees conspiracy just because there is one. 2.6 million people marched against him in the States alone on Saturday. And the press do hate him, mainly because he is a liar. Sorry, because he uses ‘alternative facts’ and then has his people refuse to answer questions from the press about them. Fair enough, he is the President.

Its all getting a bit funny. He thinks the CIA and intelligence agencies conspired against him by leaking to the press. Now he’s calling on those very agencies to help him sort out the press. The American Constitution holds ‘freedom of speech’ right up there with ‘the right to bear arms and use them on anyone you fucking like, or dislike’, as a rule set in stone. But once you create an environment of ‘alternative facts’ then you’re re-writing history. Fuck, you’re re-writing the present!! And just like Donald’s mate, Putin, the press is no longer ‘free’. Like North Korea. Saudi. Nice places. All also run by vain, narcissistic tyrants. Hmmm…

Funny; I’ve moved from ‘cool and amused’ to ‘starting to panic!!’ in his first 3 days. Tomorrow we move to Defcon 3.

Happy (???) Monday
