Trump's re-election has had a dramatic effect on the US stock market, with financial shares especially racing higher. His likely vote share of 50.9pc is the same as Reagan's in 1980 when Reagan won 489 electoral votes to 49 for outgoing president Jimmy Carter.
I have been looking at vote shares in the UK general election. Labour won a landslide with just 33.7pc of the popular vote. The Conservatives plus Reform UK, for which I voted in a tactical vote to bring about a realignment on the right, won a combined 38pc of the vote. Labour won its majority with the smallest vote share in the postwar period which tells you a great deal about the true enthusiasm for Sir Incredibly Boring Starmer, his sunk-in-despair henchwoman, Rachel Reeves and the misguided left-wing beauty, Angela Raynor.
People less likely to reignite growth in the UK economy could hardly be imagined, whereas Trump, with his absurd hair, the weird interplay of expressions on his face, and his enthusiasm for wildly over-the-top superlatives, only has to open his mouth to add percentage points to the Dow Jones index.
