Therefore I have taken the liberty to give him the handle of Trumpus Interruptus! I confess that I was excited (as was his collective base) when he announced in 2012 that he was considering a run for the republican nomination for President of the United States. I was thus willing to overlook the fact that he was...

The prospect of nuclear war is growing, federal authorities have issued a warning about the possibility of a terror attack, the Islamic State is on the march and everyone is waiting for the outcome of the referendum on economic matters in Greece.
