In reply to The Ham of Fate (on Boris Johnson)

literally and figuratively putting his foot down:

#BoJo’s entire EU #Brexit tour is intended for domestic UK symbolism. He wants to shift the blame to the EU for not allowing a deal and he wants to look like the strong leader “finally a PM that puts his foot down, even if Europeans don’t like it” https://t.co/2jE5MCfsfS

Could the Queen sack Boris Johnson? The experts are divided

If PM lost confidence vote and refused to resign, Queen could dismiss him – but experts think it unlikely

all so very The Donald. Except he didn't have to learn to manipulate P.R. people and find the right ghostwriters who could intuit the image one was reaching for, as he could write the narratives himself. But it says something that so many Brits just loathe the persona. No big fan club for the persona that I can see, while Trump grew a big one out of "Art of The Deal" and "The Apprentice", including even lots of grade school boys...

He's even a fake Brit - born

He's even a fake Brit - born in Upper East Side Manhattan, family lived across from the Chelsea Hotel (of "giving head on a bed..." fame - thanks, Janice), bouncing around to CT & DC along with London, then went to school in Brussels to match his hoity-toity French middle name... Quite le poseur.
