    Dammit. The same thing happens to my bank balance. I look one day and see £500. The next day there's only £300. Usually I also see bank profits rising. Very, very fishy.

    Trump had four years in which he could, if he had wished, have pushed for improvements in voting arrangements. Thoughtful changes might have got through with support from all sides. He didn't seem to care in the slightest that such issues might well have ensured his election. Only now that...
