One-term presidents...

My fervent hope is that Trump will join Jimmy Carter and George H W Bush as a ‘one-term president’. My recurring nightmare is that when the votes are counted in November, Trump will declare that the polls have been rigged and that the result is therefore invalid. He’s not going anywhere; he’s staying on. It could happen. One of the glories of our democratic system is the peaceful transition of power from one government to the next. But that relies on goodwill and an innate sense of fairness… qualities which have not characterised the presidency of Donald J Trump.
