Donald Trump

It also seems a bit odd to me that no Treasury pick has been named - in the UK, it would be one of the first.

WaPo:
No ethics statement signed, so no Trump transition team can enter federal offices or get briefings
No contact with the FBI, so no FBI vetting of nominees (apparently, he's used private lawyers so that's fine)
No State dept involvement in foreign leadership calls, so no-one knows what was said.
edit - and they're on non-secured lines too.

Cuz there was a fight among his advisors about it. But Luttnick was named Commerce Secretary so I assume Treasury will be soon.

Convention is dead.

I would not be surprised if he didn't turn up on Jan 20th. Nothing prevents him taking the oath of office in Mar a lago. Last time he had to do the speech in DC it was embarrassing for him. There was no one there.

The reality is that there is very little to nothing holding these conventions in place. Who is going to stop him doing what he wants.

I'm assuming that is a reference to Caligula the mad roman emperor who wanted to name his horse as one of his staff.

Am I right in thinking he was assassinated.

Yes, all perfectly normal.

Wasn't as cryptic as that. Fortunately/unfortunately Trump doesn't like Animals. Tbh I think I'd prefer a chimp on a unicycle to most of the mad cunts he's appointed in the last two weeks.
