Trump's bitter anniversary

Timing is everything, they say. Poor old Trump must be thinking to himself, “if it wasn’t for that wretched book by that despicable Michael Wolff, I could have looked forward to my State of the Union address next week but now everyone will be pointing at me and laughing”. The one-year-later stories in all the papers have been pretty withering, and much of it was cribbed from the Wolff book. All the world now knows how he behaves in the White House and how everyone working for him apparently thinks he’s a moron. All of this and much more is in the papers this weekend, a terrible summing-up of his first year in office. I can see some sackings coming up this year. Chief of Staff John Kelly, perhaps? Rex Tillerson, the first person openly to admit that he thought Trump was a moron, is hanging on to his job at State by his fingertips. Melania Trump, she’ll have to go. Oh no, sorry, that’s his third wife. But who knows! After all the revelations of what he allegedly got up to with the Porn Queen not that long ago, maybe Melania might decide to pack her bags and go back to New York. Not a single portrait of Trump this weekend produced proof that Donald and Melania ever watched TV together holding hands and eating popcorn. All the images are of a lonely man sitting on his own in his executive wing. Where is she every night? I think we should be told.
