Mondli Makhanya: A very rough ride ahead with Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in charge

On Thursday last week the president of the US embarked on one of his famed Twitter tirades that went on for three hours.Fresh from a public spat with the UK government, in which he called Theresa May “foolish” and disastrous, he went to war with his real and imagined enemies.

“The Fake News is not as important, or as powerful, as Social Media. They have lost tremendous credibility since that day in November, 2016, that I came down the escalator with the person who was to become your future First Lady. When I ultimately leave office in six ...... years, or maybe 10 or 14 , they will quickly go out of business for lack of credibility, or approval, from the public. That’s why they will all be Endorsing me at some point, one way or the other.

In most cases it seemed improbable, especially in Brazil, a progressive nation that has fallen into the hands of a racist bigot who celebrates vigilantism as a credible way of fighting crime.Before the end of July this despicable WhatsApp group is likely to be joined by Boris Johnson who, as things stand, will succeed May as the UK prime minister.

“We can’t predict what a Johnson government will do, because its prospective leader has not got around to thinking about this. But his premiership will almost certainly reveal a contempt for rules, precedent, order and stability,” warned Hastings bitingly.It was enough to have a Trump who had no regard for rules running amok on the western side of the Atlantic and constantly having to be checked by the courts and the Democratic side of Congress.
