Who now remembers the SDP, once alleged to be on the brink of taking power, only to sink without trace after polling less votes than the Monster Raving Loony Party in the Bootle by election?

A Fox News graphic with the headline "President Trump's accomplishments" and three bullet points: Declassified the JFK Files; ended federal support for paper straws; ended production of the penny
In Trump's first 100 days, he alienated us from our allies, crashed the stock market, decimated U.S. cancer research, expelled American toddlers, lost the Canadian election by proxy, and threatened your Social Security checks.
But at least he focused on the important stuff.
It used to be a newspaper
