But perhaps most striking sight was the thousands of Americans descending upon Washington in support of a man convicted of 34 counts of felony becoming leader of the free world – and how uniform their reasons for this were, when asked by broadcasters.
Indeed, 89 per cent of Americans who voted for Trump felt that “American values and beliefs are being undermined and cherished traditions are under threat”. For the first time, a majority of Americans support a full border wall with Mexico – as in all 3,000 kilometres of it. The President is keen to show he’s not all bombast and bluster. On his first day in power, he declared a national emergency at the southern border and suspended the app via which asylum seekers make claims.
In 2016 Brits saw the likes of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage echo similar sentiments, only for these to combust upon contact with reality – universities needed funding from international students, hospitals and care homes needed staff.

We continued to trade with the EU far more than anyone else, we just did it with more red tape – ironically, exactly what we left the EU to avoid.
It took six years for the majority of the British public to admit we were wrong to leave the EU, according to pollsters. Let’s hope Americans swallow their pride a little sooner – because unlike us, they don’t have to live with their mistake forever. In four years time, they get to choose again.
