Trump is the likable buffoon that GW Bush prepared us for

Speaking of buffoonery, Jonathan Meades mercilessly mocked Trump at the end of his first film about Scotland, the Aberdeen one (starts at 50 m 40 s):

"And in the kingdom of the bald, the man who says his roots are in the Hebrides is king… though Hebrides is a most unusual way to describe one’s armpit and groin.

His career has been one long flirtation with success; if you suck cess, you get success. He is richer than the richest man in the world, who is MacDonald Trump. He creates his own body weight in wealth every ten seconds. None of his businesses has gone bust owing nine hundred million pounds, so the decision to give him planning permission to build New Trumpton-On-Sea is a farsighted one."
