Today, in Washington, Donald Trump becomes God. He’s always acted in that manner but today will make it official. And following his ‘elevation’ he will issue his first ‘executive orders’. We don’t have such things here. I should add ‘thank God’ in view of our current government, or ‘more’s the pity’ with a normal government. Because we have something called ‘due process’ and ‘the rule of law’ and protocols of governing which prevent some great orange blabbermouth acting like a dictator. But Trump will issue his ‘orders’ and they will be immediately laws with no checks or balances, no debate or appeal. And who, in their right mind, would give such power to Donald J-fucking Trump? A massive number of Americans, that’s who. And his first ‘executive order’ will be an import tariff. Which greatly affects our trade with the US. But never mind, we have a ‘special relationship’. Had it for… long time. We’re bonded. There’s love. Unbreakable. Yeah, right.

So here’s the situation as it currently stands.

Kier Starmer reckons he’s Trump’s BFF. Going to do ‘special deals’ for us.
Trump, on the other hand, is taking action against Starmer for sending half his party over to American to canvass for Kamala before the election, and thus was ‘interfering in the elections in other countries’. Oddly, the same accusation our government has been throwing at Trump’s new BFF (at the time of writing, it can’t last), Elon Musk, who hates Starmer with a passion and wants Nigel Farage in power.
So Trump hates Starmer, despises David Lammy, even after ‘they had dinner’, because Lammy called him a ‘woman-hating Hitler’ not so long ago. Similarly, our new ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, was called ‘a moron’ by one of Trump’s boys. Which is deeply insulting as he is now ‘Lord Moron’.

Today’s ‘coronation’ of Trump is actually becoming a ‘Nuremburg rally’ for the tik-tok generation, even though they blacked out the app yesterday. It will be the most comprehensive gathering of the world’s right-wingers since Manchester City’s last spending spree. The only one missing will be the Grand Imperial Wizard of the KKK, and only because all those white robes clash with orange.

And yet…

Trump will continue to support Israel in a world where, quite literally, no-one else does. And if his presence in the White House is what’s needed to get the rest of the hostages home, then its all worth it. And that ‘all’ may possibly be spectacular.

Happy Inauguration Day
