    What really interests me is whether if - as I suspect it will - the United States comes through his Presidency just fine or even better off, will this lead people to question just how important who happens to be President actually is?
    Indeed. Although legacy is in the eye of the (often partisan) beholder.

    As a tangential example, we now know that a Tory politician saying that jobs for Brits should be prioritised can now be officially classified as a ‘hate’ incident. So whatever Theresa May achieves as PM, there will be those who point out that ‘hate’ crimes spiked under her leadership.

    Luckily, the left fails to learn the lesson from its effective neutering of the term 'racist' through overuse.
