Ah yes, the old 'trumpery' joke.

As an outsider, there are things I don't understand. For instance: Trump 
said he wanted to make America great again (it may have been 'grate'; 
I've heard it but not seen it written). Harris now says that America is 
the greatest nation on Earth. Is she saying that Trump succeeded?

(Pots and kettles? Scotland did for a while describe itself as "the best 
small country in the world". No-one ever did explain how those 
responsible had arrived at that conclusion.

I do wonder at the amount of time the BBC devotes to American elections. 
Given that US elections drag on and on, for months and months - or is it 
years? - and that there is some coverage every day, I suspect it adds up 
to far more than our national broadcaster gives to British elections. If 
so, is this right and proportionate? It's certainly tiresome.

FU2 aue alone.
