2017 saw POTUS Donald J Trump attempting to be "sincerely" steadfast in sticking to his outrageous election promises made the year before, and things sure aren't turning out quite pretty. Beginning with the signing of an executive order endorsing a blanket travel ban targeting majority-Muslim countries in January (which thankfully was repealed by federal courts with common sense yet later being reinstated by the Supreme Court on a limited basis) and a rescinding of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, he subsequently thrust upon Congress with his thuggish demands of funding the construction of the great wall of Mexico (prototypes have since emerged and gasp, climbing tests conducted to ascertain the ease with which they can be breached). Then there was his proposal of a major tax reform bill where both corporate entities and individuals pay considerably reduced rates - this was successfully approved in a Republican controlled Congress mere days before the arrival of 2018.....congratulations on his first major legislative victory?

In the meanwhile, he also withdrew America from the Paris climate agreement and constantly verbalized threats of initiating a third world war with the non-compliant North Korea. Not forgetting his probably most disturbing decision exercised till date: recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Besides obviously becoming a mortal enemy of both the Palestinians and Arabs, he also succeeded in getting CNN, the FBI, the democrats, the United Nations, almost the entire Europe plus one exasperated Attorney General Jeff Sessions to hate his 71 year old ass with a passion.

This "fine" piece of work also remains largely trigger happy despite not having featured on The Apprentice for an eternity - in the first six months of taking office, he has fired an FBI director, a national security adviser and a holdover acting attorney general, while his White House press secretary, communications director, deputy chief of staff, deputy national security adviser and legal team spokesman have all resigned. When he isn't bawling and dismissing folks, he is roasting everyone else (from Hollywood celebrities, 'disrespectful' NFL players to North Korea's Little Rocket Man aka Kim Jong Un) on Twitter, so much so former undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson is seeking to buy the social media platform by means of crowdfunding in an attempt to ban Trump from it altogether. As far as getting fellow Earthlings all bent out of shape is concerned, he is surely doing a terrific job. Alas, his day of reckoning might just be round the corner, as the noose of a Russia probe into election tampering by the feds tightens around his excessively chunky billionaire neck. Michael Flynn acquiescing for starters, how about that? Fingers tightly crossed.

Moving from the spectacular mess spun by grandpa Trump in Yankeeland, enter super chubby North Korean dictator spotting the world's most absurd haircut - one Mr Kim Jong Un. He apparently takes great pride in antagonizing The United States, South Korea, Japan and China all at once with his ongoing pet nuclear weapons program, surfacing on occasion to officiate at the test firing of his ballistic missiles or to remind the global community of his reputation as planet Earth's number one warmonger courtesy of issuing ultimatum after ultimatum.

Perhaps he isn't pure evil, at least he is pretty nice to his sister, Kim Yo Jong, whom he promoted straight to the country's all powerful politburo in early October. Oh wait, hang on a minute, then again his half brother Kim Jong Nam died gruesomely in Kuala Lumpur International Airport after having his face smeared with VX nerve agent ....... surely marks have got to be deducted for this sneaky, ungentlemanly assassination attempt.
