What a clown show.

Donald Trump has appointed Mark Burnett, a British television producer who helped produce Trump’s show The Apprentice, as the US’s special envoy to the UK.
In an announcement on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump hailed 64-year-old Burnett, saying: “With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role.”
Trump went on to cite multiple shows that Burnett had created and produced including Survivor, Shark Tank, The Voice and, most notably, The Apprentice, which ran from 2004 to 2017 and featured Trump as its host.
As the former chair of MGM Worldwide Television Group, Burnett has won 13 Emmys.
“Mark will work to enhance diplomatic relations, focusing on areas of mutual interest, including trade, investment opportunities, and cultural exchanges,” Trump said, adding: “Congratulations Mark!”
Burnett’s appointment, which does not require Senate confirmation, follows Trump’s tapping of Republican mega-donor and investment banker Warren Stephens as the US’s ambassador to the UK.
As the butter salesman once said, "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?".
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
