@RunRichRun @heidilifeldman That was one of the sad thots I had... my parents must have looked up to the US Presidency as a lofty goal - a position only the hardest working, most respectable, exceptionally dignified people once held.

"Leader of the free world" is a joke now. "The Office of the President of the USA" is nothing more than a pricey theme park ride. It's gone from the "quirky sitter with clown shoes" to the "potential paedo in a white van" on the international stage.
