Guess who was 'deeelighted' by the news? You guessed it - Donald Trump of course.
He praised Boris for all of ten seconds, calling him a 'good man', before he made it all about himself.
'They call him 'Britain Trump' over there' he proclaimed. Actually, no one calls him that over here, simply because no self respecting Brit would call him 'Britain Trump' - that's just bad English.
'Britain's Trump' or 'British Trump' perhaps but even then, I have not heard anyone say it except when they are quoting Trump himself.
In typical Trump fashion (read deluded) he assumes that even if someone does say it, they mean it as a compliment (someone needs to tell him what happens when you 'assume' things).
Obviously, no one has had the courage to do so, because he went on to make another annoying assumption - 'they like me over there.'
Since he is so fond of three worded chants ('send her back', 'lock her up') -here's a chant he might understand - 'no we don't.
I know of only four people in Britain who like him: Piers Morgan, Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and that awful woman whose venomous tweets Trump is very fond of retweeting.
Sorry if you are wondering who she is but my digits will literally go on strike if I move them to type her name and give her the oxygen of publicity.
Also, going by social media, I find it puzzling that some people across the pond appear to think that we are now in the same boat.
'Now you know how it feels' and 'You can no longer make fun of us' appeared to be the general consensus.
Actually, for the moment, the jury is out on that one.
After all, BoJo was gracious enough to 'pay tribute at the fortitude and patience' of Theresa May and since he actually has appointed his very own 'squad' in the Cabinet, he is hardly likely to urge them to 'go back' to their countries.
Sorry guys, you'll just have to wake up and smell the covfefe.
Until next week try and keep it light....and stay hydrated.
