We all know what a dangerous state the world is in. I’m not going to go off on one of my spasticated rants about how Britain should now unilaterally void the Declaration of Independence and render all Americans British colonists, much as I might like to. In all seriousness though, I find myself baffled over Americans can put up with this. Many of them are intelligent people; they must realise what is going on, and the catastrophic damage which the deranged charlatan they’re currently forced to call their president is currently doing to their country. They must surely be as horrified as the rest of the world is.

Surely there is something they can do: surely what remains of the American intelligencia can somehow step in to remove the fool from office. They must be able to see the way things are going, just as the rest of us do, as well as the obvious truth that Trump is a highly unstable, mentally ill man. As Owen Jones explores here, his recent deranged tweets put that well beyond doubt. If that isn’t valid grounds for removing someone from office, what on earth could be? Thus I genuinely hope America gets a grip and does something to change course soon; otherwise the consequences could be horrifying. It might not be democratic in the strictest sense, but you’d think there would be a clause in their famous constitution which allows presidents to be stripped of office on medical grounds. Otherwise, what choice would we Brits have but to take back control of the American colonies?
