Orange Letter Day

Mere weeks into the second reign of the Trumpster and his head-tribble, the sycophancy of the courtiers is already a credit to Republicanism. A congressbeing from the gesturally-named Finger Lakes region of New York has used the occasion of George Washington's birthday to propose that the occasion of the Trumpster's first policy statements should be conscecrated in similar fashion. "His impact on the nation is undeniable," she proclaimed; which is undeniably true, and it is to be hoped that proposals for national holidays memorialising George III, John Wilkes Booth and Osama bin Laden will soon be forthcoming on the same grounds. In the meantime, the prospects for a Statutory Trumpster Day, or STD for short, appear less than promising, despite likely enthusiastic support from the Farage Falange, Ambassador Lord Mandelbrot the Infinitely Recurring, and the more bipartisan reaches of the Democratic Party. Not least among the difficulties will be that the Imperial Doge and Supreme Car Salesman of the Nation is unlikely to approve of the little people being given more time off work. Whether the head-tribble has been approached for comment remains as yet unclear.
