Anagram for Donald Trump **Lord Dampnut** From a Colin Mochrie Tweet. Maybe better than Der Gropperführer? But I doubt it. ---

A local Norwegian paper asked people what they would take with them if they knew they would be stranded on an island. A local carpenter replied: “_I’ll take one for the team and bring along Trump._”, thus earing the title “local hero”. The notice went viral on Facebook after a New York Times reporter picked it up. Facebook has now deleted it. Speculations abound as to why they did and who complained. ---

The Trump administration has misspelled current British Prime Minister Theresa May, incorrectly as “Teresa” three times. Teresa May is a British soft-porn star. ---

Based on the Brits I knew in Bangkok, the PM could very likely have won because they thought they _were_ voting for the latter May. 😉 ---

WASHINGTON — President Trump loves to set the day’s narrative at dawn, but the deeper story of his White House is best told at night. [Aides confer in the dark because they cannot figure out how to operate the light switches](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/05/us/politics/trump-white-house-aides-strategy.html?_r=0) :smack: in the cabinet room. Visitors conclude their meetings and then wander around, testing doorknobs until finding one that leads to an exit. :eek: In a darkened, mostly empty West Wing, Mr. Trump’s provocative chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, finishes another 16-hour day planning new lines of attack. ---
