Who Could Possibly Have Foreseen It?

Ain't it just always the way?

A hundred days into the head-tribble's second acknowledged term of supreme power, Trumpster fatigue appears to be setting in even among the faithful; which should at least put paid to all those facile comparisons with Hitler or Mussolini, both of whom were sufficiently astute to retain their personal popularity beyond the first three months. No less an authority than Supreme Leader Murdoch's Fox News has found almost sixty per cent of respondents who have taken the hint; which of course means that the Democrats can once more afford to sit back, promise nothing, and wait for the self-destruction around the middle of the third term.
