We have to talk about Donald Trump. 

He is fantastic. 

What I like about what he has done so far is none of it’s a surprise. He actually does what he said he would do. 

The mainstream media still can't get their head around it. I watched CNN twisting themselves into a knot over the pardons and the fact a lot of what he says isn't true. 

It's as though they still think by moaning about it anything is going to change. 

The Trump era is the most legitimate democratic thing you will see anywhere in the world. 

He won the presidency by way of the college vote and the popular vote, he has the House, the Senate, and he has the Supreme Court, but that was more luck and not tied to an election. 

So what he has is a mandate. You can't argue with that. 

He said he would deport - he is. 

He said he'd get out of the Paris Agreement - he has. 

Not all of what he said he would do will happen, because some of it like birthright citizenship is constitutional and changing that takes a lot of court and more than four years. 

Melania has clearly had a come-to-Jesus moment, given she seems front and centre. I watched them in Carolina and Los Angeles on Saturday and Las Vegas on Sunday, and she said nothing but seems keen this time around. 

I watched the inauguration. Kamala couldn't hide her misery; Barron couldn't hide his sense of humour. Who knew? 

Much is being made of the fact he doesn’t have to face the voters ever again, as though that doesn’t apply to every President who gets a second term, so he'll go nuts. 

He won't go nuts. He is already nuts, but a lot of people like that kind of nuts. 

He comes off the back, as the Wall Street Journal so decisively portrayed, one of the great crime families of modern America: the Biden's. The senility hidden from day one, all the family pardoned, and Hunter singled out, despite Joe saying he wouldn't. What a liar. What a crook. 

As I said last year, the first time Trump came and went the world didn’t end. It won't this time either. 

But so far it's going to be a hoot watching and I, for one, am loving it.
