Behold, another second coming. But this one is Donald Trump – WAY BETTER than that Jesus guy | Marina Hyde
The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope – and he posts himself as Potus Almighty. Will his disciples now see that their messiah has feet of clay, asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The greatest miscalculation the Constitutional authors made was not in failing to predict someone like Trump, but in assuming that the people would never tolerate such a man. GOP Congress is under no pressure to act because most of its voters *like* this. The Founders never imagined such depravity.

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.

It was always Trump (and Putin’s) plan to break up NATO in a second term. The plan was just delayed four years.

And it is an unfortunate truth that the author has a better grip of history, ‘fake news’ and cultural affairs than the current POTUS.

Man. Bruce Springsteen is on an absolute mission with this tour. Called this a Treasonous and corrupt regime, and welcoming in fans to the Land of Hope and Dreams your, asking to choose peace over WAR, and launching into a blistering version of “war”. Here. For. It. ✊🏼 🎸 🔥 👊🏼

Watching the news is so infuriating. Just feel so helpless that Trump has launched such carnage with no checks and balances. Gas fields burn, Israel kills 1,000 civilians as a footnote.. how will we see justice and a reckoning?

The former Sinn Fein leader has denied any involvement in 1970s and 1990s attacks. Three bombing victims have brought a civil claim against the 77-year-old.

Orange man-baby wants Nobel Peace Prize despite having caused global chaos. Time to award him an ACI instead. (Anti-coercion instrument). The EU needs to follow Macron’s lead. Greenland is about minerals not security. Venezuela is about oil not freedom. Noise is about avoiding Epstein.

Training in the Royal Flying Corps, Canada 1918 style! Lt 'Ned' Ballough from Daytona, Florida had signed up for the US draft in June 1917 but impatient, travelled to Toronto and joined the RFC. He (surprisingly!) survived the war, training recruits in Canada before returning safely to the US.

Surprisingly moved after finding a roll up with tobacco still inside in Air Mechanic Ernest Dobson’s Pay Book. He joined the RFC as a boy mechanic in 1917 and left in 1922.

An anecdote to the ‘myth of Billy Mitchell’. The real first man of American military aviation. Also helped the RAF grow by lending Texan airfields to boost training in return for the training of hundreds of American pilots and thousands of mechanics. #skystorians #histbookchat

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
