Arise, Prime Minister Trump

Yes, fans, don’t hold your breath but it seems there may be room for Donald Trump to spread his leather wings.
A column in the London based Daily Telegraph points out that the sitting president can apply for UK citizenship as his mother was British.
If he takes this route (and why not?), he can stand for office.
Which means he could stand for Parliament.
Which means he could stand as a party boss.
Which means he could lead a party in Parliament.
Which means he could ask King Charles to head a government.
Which means he could become Prime Minister.
So, there you go.
After daily tantrums emitting from The White House over half-baked theories on Covid vaccines, the nasty UN, climate control and free speech, he now has a crack at running Britain, according to Telegraph columnist Jacob Rees-Mogg.
The ultra-conservative, voted out of Parliament in the last election, writes: ‘This constitutional possibility, an admittedly remote one, has the great virtue of winding up po-faced Lefties who suffer from Trump derangement syndrome but is also an excellent idea as this country needs a jolt of Trump…’
And that means scything through reams of red tape to handle immigration, annoying court rulings and, I would guess, basic civil rights.
So, if PM Trump does get to open his curtains each day in Downing Street, just imagine how he would handle quandaries, uniquely British, such as health service waiting lists, the welfare state, ugly racist mobs or how to control cross channel immigration.
displaying Ruritanian deference ….
And then there’s the question of how he would display the correct Ruritanian deference to the reigning monarch of the day. Of course, there may be a slight hitch about being a convicted felon with 33 charges sitting on the books. But that little obstacle can quickly be steamrollered by a Trump Hotel Org. super-deal on new carpets and drapes for the House of Commons and a big cut price bargain on a diamond encrusted chair for The Lord Speaker who rules the august upper chamber of unelected talking heads.
PM Trump would also have to contend with the independence of the BBC, detested by both the left and the right in the UK, and the corrosive mad-dog British tabloid press which craves grubby scandals three times a week as circulations tank.
But for Mr Rees-Mogg, the president would be the man to lift Britain from the mud of despond. ‘Trump will be 82 in May 2029,’ the columnist reminds us, ‘the same age as William Gladstone when he last took office. So, precedent shows he is not too old.’
Oh, and let’s not forget. As Prime Minister Donald Trump rolls into Downing Street, he’ll want to tackle transport too: get those frickin’ trains running on time, like that Italian leader some may remember.
Not that the TikTok voters will go back that far. Recent statistics show 59% of folks got their news last year from the China owned site- more than double the percentage from 2020 when Biden was elected. Roll on Blighty, god bless the the future Prime Minister, god save Britannia.

Old Jacob Rees Mogg is a funny guy and dead right. Just the thought of Trump gets lots of leftys frothing at the mouth. The faintest hint of any positivity provokes howls of outrage.
Think Lao Tzu folks. Trump is a powerful man being constantly underestimated.
Democracy is an interesting system of governance, our Government has a huge majority with 34% of the popular vote, suggesting 66% don’t want it! More losers than winners, how does that work?
Brexit, Scottish independence, wafer thin majorities but over 50%.
Lies, all lies the losers cry weeping into their beer whilst howling into the echo chambers of their particular social media groups, reinforcing their entrenched beliefs.
Politics looks like a collection of cults manning barricades these days.
Oh, for the voice of reason!

My favourite Trump quote is “smart people hate me” that’s so right on so many levels. But there lies the problem. Politicians don’t need to be qualified in the roles in which they serve , or be age restricted. No wonder the human race and the planet is being dragged under by them.
