[Classic Column] Jeremy Clarkson: “Pipe down and come with me on a tour of Trump’s Britain”

Given that the presidency is changing hands in the US soon, I thought it was worth revisiting what Jeremy Clarkson wrote in The Sunday Times back in 2016 about Donald Trump after he won the first time. Here’s the part that stood out for me:

“Trump talked a lot of nonsense in his campaign, and I think if I were to meet him, I'd dislike him on a cellular level. However, he maintained throughout that politicians had let the poor down. Ker-ching. He said they would always let the poor down. Ker-ching again. And the only thing that could provide them with jobs and money was business. Big ker-ching. They liked the sound of that and said to themselves: ‘Yup. The future's bright. The future's orange.’ It was the same story here with Brexit.”
