Someone published the bookies odds about the Trump presidency. You get very short odds on Trump not making it through the first term. I wonder what odds you get for him not making it TO the first term. If he can survive the next few days of scandals and accusations, surely someone can assassinate him, can’t they? Not like there’s any shortage of guns and gunmen out there. I’d bloody do it myself as a public service, if Easyjet flew to New York.

Yesterday was more scandal. Russia hacked the Clinton campaign, which we knew but for some reason saw no reason to act upon. And more importantly, Trump was involved in an ‘incident’ at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Moscow (soon to be re-named the ‘Titz-Carlton’) in the Presidential Suite. I won’t go into the lurid details of the accusations… oh, why not, they’re so funny be rude not to.

Trump ALLEGEDLY stood by whilst a group of hookers peed on each other. Having previously described Trump’s hair as ‘a golden shower’, this is almost too ironic to even consider. For some reason, what the press was most concerned about was that said allegations took place on ‘the actual bed that President and Mrs Obama had previously slept in!!!!!!’ As if that makes the perversely voyeuristic activity much worse than merely watching a few Russian anorexics pissing all over each other. Its almost like they’re actually wee-ing on PRESIDENT AND MRS OBAMA!!!!. And they would have done, if the Obamas hadn’t left that suite 17 months before. I don’t think they even had a late check-out facility.

Trump denied all this shit. As he would. And as he should. If it had been Tibetan monks pissing themselves that would be different. But Russian hookers? Nyah.

I’m bizarrely excited about the Trump presidency. Mainly because I live in London, which is in nuking distance from Washington, but not close enough to actually be part of the lunacy that is going to ensue in 10 days time. Mostly though, much as I really can’t even bear to look at the man, let alone listen to his garbage, it will be interesting for us all to see a man in the White House who knows nothing whatsoever about government or politics. A man with ‘no filters’ on what he says or does. And a man who ain’t really all that bright. Will the macho bravado in-yer-face posturing give way to something more diplomatic? Something more subtle? Ok, that’s doubtful.

But personally, I can’t wait.

Happy Thursday
