Well it's certainly not making him popular in the States.

President Donald Trump smashes record to get fastest majority disapproval rating ever

In normal times, it takes American presidents hundreds of days before they reach a majority disapproval rating.

This has been the case for the last five presidents - with Bill Clinton being the previous record holder after taking 573 days to have more than 50 per cent of Americans disapprove of his presidency.

But Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman, TV star and now US president, has smashed this record after his victory on a wave of anti-establishment anger.

It has taken just eight days for him to gain a majority disapproval rating, according to Gallup polling, with 51 per cent of Americans saying they disapproved of the President on 28 January 2016.

The 'other side' will just claim he could have been one of those child suicide bombers.

Poor thing must have been terrified.

There are clear echos of the Labour Party over here - the politicians want leaders that the voters don't. This is exactly what the people voted against and it's fried a lot of so called intellectual brains that are in shock that the common people have had enough of it.

It's probably fair to say the sensible moderate types were too busy being appalled at what was happening that they didn't do a good enough job at putting forward their arguments. And still are. Same to a lesser extent with Brexit.

The turnout was 54.6%, which means far more Americans couldn't be arsed than supported either Trump or Clinton. Those are the common people.

Trump's press secretary pretty much said just that at his White House press conference yesterday
