But 2.87 million more of them voted for Clinton; he won because of the bizarre electoral college system in the US.

No more bizarre than ours though is it. Already gone through this before. 2010 election the Snp got 50 odd seats for 3 million votes and the Ukip got zilch (or 1) for 4 million.

So if something similar happened in Russia, as what's happened to Jefferey Epstein in America, how would 'western governments' react?

The hypocrisy is staggering.

I know one thing. There will have been plenty of high profile figures breathing huge sighs of relief upon hearing the news of his suicide. His trial would have opened a right can of worms.

Do you reckon Prince Andrew's dad might have been involved?

But we’re not electing a prime minister/President. We’re electing a local representative. So whilst our system is poor (should be PR) it’s nowhere near as ridiculous as the US system.

The west happily laughs at African, South American or Asian governments where the president got less votes than his challenger yet somehow still won.

Now that the USA is pulling out of the Paris climate agreement and suggesting that he want's the USA to become "an energy superpower" should Trump be officially be regarded as a "climate change denier" and what can or should be done to try and get him back on board.

The roadkill he puts on his head looks ridiculous. As for his false teeth he wants to stick 3tubes of UHU on them so they don’t start slipping from his gums.

Donald Trump wants a no deal Brexit so he can get his grubby hands on the nhs and force through more privatisation of our healthcare.

He knows Jeremy Corbyn won’t let this happen whereas Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson will.

This was exposed on QT last night as Labour scaremongry - everybody knows the NHS is not going to be privatised - every major US pharmaceutical company already has a presence in the UK so what is going to change. The vast majority of drugs we use in this country are out of patent and we use generic options. Which bits of the NHS will get privatised?

The idiot shadow health secretary suggested it would cost the NHS an additional £500m a week - that was until it was pointed out that the reduction in the spina bifida drug negotiated between a US co and the government.
