It beggars belief. Or maybe not. Nothing should surprise us any more about Trump's lack of judgement and humanity.
A family in mourning pleaded for understanding and sensitivity. Instead, the President of the United States thought it was funny to share a video of a mentally ill man being mauled to death by a tiger. Trump has no judgement, no class, no humanity.

You couldn't make it up....
The Two Press Corps
American reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it now controls the Strait of Hormuz. Your response?
Trump: Which news agency are you with?
Reporter: Reuters, sir.
Trump: Fake news.
Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President.
The reporter sits down. The next hand goes up with a question about the White House ballroom.
Later the same afternoon.
European reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it controls the Strait of Hormuz. Tanker traffic is down forty percent. What is your plan?
Trump: Which agency are you with?
Reporter: Deutsche Presse-Agentur. And the question stands.
Trump: Fake news. Total fake news.
Reporter: The shipping data comes from your own Department of Energy, sir. Are they fake news too?
Trump: Next question.
Reporter: That was the next question.
Two reporters, same question, same non-answer. The difference is what happened next. One said thank you and sat down. The other stayed standing and asked again. Access is not journalism. Follow-up questions are.

God, what a narcissist...
'The police warned me not to attend the count in Clacton," says Nigel Farage.
'Er, no we didn't," say Essex Police.

Surprised, delighted and humbled to recieve this yesterday at the @DarlRotary lunch to handover its presidency.
'The Paul Harris award is the highest given to a Rotarian or member of the community who has made an outstanding contribution to the community.'
Proud and grateful.
@DarlRotary cyclists
completed a 200+ mile journey from Edinburgh to Newcastle, rasing thousands of £s for mainly local charities. What a team! Rotarians are from all professions and walks of life connecting to network, socialise and help others. More from [email protected]
What brilliant news. My mother-in-law died from cervical cancer many years ago. Amazing thar it can now be eliminated by a single vaccine.

Oh no!
Total bedlam at the #eurotunnel. Booked on the 2.54pm. Been here five hours and still no idea when we will board a train. Nothing to do with new passport arrangements! Few frayed tempers. Chaos.

Love it!
Top level boinging from the lamb gang in the nursery shed. Why do they do it? Just because they can and it's fun! 🥰

Delusional...
Trump to Local 12 Cincinnati: "There's never been a better year for a president. I've been rated-- there's never been a better first year than what we had. That includes the stoppage of 8 wars with a 9th to come. The economy is roaring. It's phenomenal. That's why I'm here. This is an excursion, a little excursion, and I think it's only that."

Can he get any lower...
UNBELIEVABLE - America has lost four service members and we are spending billions of dollars to fight a foreign war.
Trump refuses to take any questions from the press and instead talks about his new ballroom and how he’s saving money on curtains.
We are the laughingstock of the world.

That's a goodie...!

Met John Burton when he answered questions from journalism students @Darlingtonfe when I was Head of Journalism. Straight talking and honest. Rare these days.
John Burton, 'the man who discovered Tony Blair', has died at the age of 85.
