Crikey, I had hoped once the reality of governance kicked in Trump would realise that he isn't above the law and can't just do what he wants.

Don't get me wrong, the American press is as dirty as ours, but not for the reasons he gives which is essentially 'They don't agree with me'.

What a word removed.

It's certainly a test of their checks and balances.  He really is much worse than I ever could have imagined, he appears to be as unhinged as your average despot.

And his fans say how brilliant it is, how he attacked the media etc.

I know it's an overused trope but in some ways he is a fascist. He is an authoritarian. And his supporters **** love it.

We live in weird, and scary times.

Que? I'm not watching, but I much prefer Evan Davis to Paxman, or anyone else for that matter. 

Evan Davis should stick to Tim Wonnacott-style paranomastic commentary on Dragon's Den. ;)

No, he's fine but he was too effusively thankful to that berk Gorka on Newsnight for turning up and saying hardly anything other than 'fake news, fake news' during the interview. At least Paxman's thanks would have been sarcastic. :)
