No. The other question is what they are prepared to do when they find out.IanB2 said:For now, and armed with the loudest megaphone on the planet, the US president can keep reality at bay. But eventually, Americans will be able to see with their own eyes and in their own lives what Trump has done to the US and the wider world. Their daily experience will expose him for what he is: a confidence trickster who has made them poorer and less safe. The only question is when.

As we start to get used to and normalise Trump's behaviour, it's good to have a reference to what leadership can and should look like.
France, as part of the EU, would find it much more difficult to play the good cop, but given Trumps personality it probably makes sense to have the UK being a little less confrontational.0 -

For Trump it's just a mega TV show. It's the Apprentice ++.
All he craves is an enormous audience, constant attention and high approval ratings. It's not 4D chess. It's just continuous conflict.
Great TV.
His father, who has a lot to answer for, was a bit of a brute, and didn't give him any attention and withheld approval.3 -

Thing is Don is hiding in plain sight. Is that a cunning tactic?

For me, a low BMI, not much alcohol intake, fairly sporty, and reasonably good diet probably all helped. Although some of those are a bit vague: what happens if you drink alcohol only once a week, but it's a Hague effort?
Not that I'd want to live to 109. Although several of my relatives (on my dad's side) reached at least 100.1 -
