We can probably let out a small sigh of relief this evening. I just read that Trump says he is not considering running for third term, despite previously repeatedly promising he would. It’s reassuring to see that he is not self-important enough to think he has a right to trample on US law and become a de-facto emperor, although I suspect his advisors may have convinced him to reconsider his position. That, at least, is a bit of a relief. Mind you, with Reform doing so well in the local elections this week, and with people now speaking quite earnestly about the hideous, chilling prospect of Nigel Farage somehow becoming Prime Minister one day, we are clearly far from past this spell of right-wing idiocy.
