Trumpnado

Despite the dead-eyed warden's attempts to smooth the ruffled head-tribble with a quick knee-trembler in Davos and a rescheduled rah-rah "later this year", it seems there are still a few malcontents in the world who remain obstinately unreceptive to the Trumpster's urbane charisma. Allegations by Stephanie Clifford that the Trumpster is terrified of sharks along with everything else have led to a sudden increase in donations to charities for selachimorphic elasmobranches of the cartilaginous persuasion. The Trumpster tweeted his dislike some years ago, proclaiming that sharks were "last on my list - other than perhaps the losers and haters of the world!" It is doubtful that he was referring to me personally, rather than to the Kenyan Muslim or that woman with the emails; but should you wish to contribute to the wellbeing of a species which may be even more last on the Trumpster's list than sharks, my backlist is as available as ever.
