Insane.

You get one Reality TV President, and the floodgates open.

What next - an actor being President?

It seems that Wolfe did have access to the White House and Senior staff for his book.

So, when I met Michael Wolff in Reince Priebus’ office, where he was waiting to talk to Steve Bannon, and after I had been told to also speak to him for his book, my attitude was polite but firm: “Thanks but no thanks.”
Reince Preibus - President’s Chief of Staff at the time
Steve Bannon - President’s Chief Strategist at the time

Trump said more than once in public that if he ever ran for president she would be his first choice running mate, there's endorsement right there :spin:

What's Dick Dastardly doing these days, surely a contender?

I did not realise you were that old to remember how it was before... but you have your year wrong/mixed up, you mean the year 1776. The year the Declaration of Independence was signed and when the Colonists declared the United States Of America as a sovereign nation, no longer under British rule.

1783 was the year the Treaty of Paris was signed, which finally ushered peace between the U.S and Great Britain. We have the French to thank for this as they were warn out with constant wars, only Spain wanted the war to carry on, they had their hearts set on Gibraltar even as early as then.

That's your history lesson done for today. ;)

1783 it is. The year those peace-loving French tricked us into giving up the colonies. :mad:

We could always re-invade via Canada. I'm sure the Mounties would be up for it too. The US(GB) could then be part of our new glorious Brexit Empire...
If the Mexicans came from the South we could get them in a pincer movement... Sorted.

I'm not American but given the choice of Clinton, Trump (c32% popularity rating) or Oprah then I would rate Oprah's chances of success.

I read that Trump has demanded to be invited to Harry and Meghans wedding. Even though Harry and Meghan doesn't like him.

Trump is demanding a gold coach

Where are you getting those ratings from? Not that I believe them, but I saw Trump at 46% Approval rating just last week. I see them at 42% as of right now.

Just like to add that Obama was at 46% around December in his first year.

He has not demanded anything, he hasn't even publicly commented on their wedding.

Trump is at 39.8% average: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...oval-6179.html

The lowest Obama got was 40.1 in this second term: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...oval-1044.html

He was around 60% approval at the start of 2009.
