THE US and European media and political establishment remain in denial about Donald Trump. They are still not used to the US president's style of doing business. They have conveniently forgotten how much they disliked Ronald Reagan while he was in power in the 1980s, only to change their tune later. They have forgotten the truly disturbing behaviour of Richard Nixon, who resigned from office in 1974 after his attempts to hide illegal activities by his administration were revealed. His access to "the button" alarmed his own Defence Secretary.

Mr Trump is of sound mind and body by comparison. He has completed one year of his presidency and there is still no impeachment in sight. He has managed to legislate tax cuts, despite his insulting tweets about some Republicans in Congress.
