Is it just me, or does Kellyanne Conway remind you of an extra in a really poor, low-budget zombie movie ?

To quote someone whose Twitter feed I'm checking out a lot at the moment:

Quote
POTUS has gone Full Caudillo here. Even for Trump, this is cray-zee.

Seems like a fair description to me...

Quote from: El Wiki
A caudillo (Spanish pronunciation: [kawˈdiʎo]; Old Spanish: cabdillo, from Latin capitellum, diminutive of caput "head") was a military-landowner who possessed political power and exercised it in a form considered authoritarian by its adversaries. The term can be translated into English as leader or chief, or more pejoratively as warlord, dictator or strongman and has been used to refer to charismatic populist leaders. In Hispanic America, another sense developed of the caudillo as a demagogic lawyer and politician, with the populist Jorge Eliécer Gaitán having been honored with the title "Caudillo of The Colombian People". Other uses of the term referred to leaders without state responsibilities like cacique in Spain and those wielding oligarchical–plutocratic power.

British version wouldn't work because you can't do a parody when we have Farage.  It would sound like a toned-down ukip video .  On the bright side, Luxembourg First has just been issued : 'we pay no taxes and the first lady is a Cuban immigrant'. A bit too factually actuate. Germany's 'we hosted 2 world wars and won' both is more in the spirit.

Didn't Theresa May do that? Ah yes, here it is:

As the two leaders finally shook hands, the bust of Churchill covered its eyes and begged to be sent back to Britain. Their hands remained uneasily entwined as they walked down the colonnade towards the Palm Room. When Trump started to creepily stroke her hand, Theresa almost retched. She quickly pulled herself together and reminded herself to just think of England. Sometimes you had to take one for the team.

In his first speech as CinC of the armed forces he is accusing the media of covering up non existent terrorist attacks. This really does not bode well for the future.

CrumpletЯumpet: of course Mohammed Saeed al-Spicer didn't include the Quebec mosque shootings in his list of un(der)-reported terrorist incidents!  Canada is none of "our" business!!1!

After Conway's promotion of Trump's daughter's products (absolutely outrageous) they are changing the acronym POTUS to BOGOF. Week two. No wonder La La land is doing well. I always thought the Yanks had it sorted.

Dear Bob,

Welcome to this introduction about Ivanka's designer wear.

Ivanka has been making the best designer wear since ever.  It's true, you know it is.  Ivanka's stuff is marvellous, it's the best, it's the greatest ever in the history of the world.  From this day forward it's going to be Ivanka First.  Ivanka First.   Nobody makes tat, er I mean designer wear better than Ivanka does.  You'll love it, it's great.  It's just unbelievable. It's true.
 
We've fought against Nordstrum for eighty years - they couldn't beat us.  It's true.  total failures.   

Go grab a handful of Ivanka now, I would.  It's true.  You'll love it.  it's the best.  I do.

You think that is bad?

Until the Washington Post outed it, Trump was using the White House website to publicise Melania Trump's jewelry business.

All said, if it distracts him from unbriefed chats about nuclear weapons treaties, it might be a good thing. Melania's jewellery probably won't destroy the world.

Out of interest, where is Ivanka's designer stuff actually made?   I presume they are made in the USA by good old Americans.

Well, the clothing is apparently made in China, Indonesia and Vietnam.
