Maintaining pace with the US president\u2019s wild outbursts and the mind-boggling media reports about him is no laughing matter<\/p>\n
The smelly thoughts of Donald Trump bubble up like brown burps in the sort of bombsite pond Chopper bike-riding children were advised to avoid in 1970s public information films. Do they indicate concrete plans, are they designed to provoke, or do they have no meaning, like the gurgles and gasps that can inadvertently escape from a decomposing corpse? My job here is to try to anticipate if anything Trump says or does is likely to be of any lasting significance and to satirise it accordingly, in the small window of time allowed, for money. And it isn\u2019t getting any easier. Yes, Ukraine is suffering, but I am the real victim here.<\/p>\n
For example, last Saturday Trump opined: \u201cWe were the richest\u2026 think of this, from 1870 to 1913\u2026 because we collected tariffs\u2026 We had so much wealth. Wouldn\u2019t it be nice today? Of course, now, we give it away to transgender this, to transgender that. Everybody gets a transgender operation. It\u2019s wonderful. We give it away to crazy things. But in those days, it was different. It was a different world. It was a different country.\u201d<\/p>\n
