It was an accident that we witnessed the Trump C-SPAN declaration of a national emergency in front of reporters on the White House lawn.
A rambling speech of over an hour, with many of the reporters sat on what looked like childrens' chairs. That alone reminded me of a tyrant dispensing egotistical pronouncements.
Then the expressions on most of their faces as they attempted to ask questions. A Fox reporter got some answers but most of the others were dissatisfied and in several cases told that they were part of fake news and essentially got nothing.
Whether Trump intends to award the initial $1.3 billion for 55 pricey miles of wall to his own companies or to those of cronies remains to be seen. We'll never know what happens now that he has a pocket attorney general. The man that will probably close down the Muller investigation too.
Trump has normalised a kind of fantasy corruption of politics. Unfortunately we are usually only a few steps behind with similar weather in the UK.
