Still licking their wounds from Trump’s inauguration, the progressive media remain desperate to sensationalise the new President’s every move. Jon Sopel took to LBC today to rail against Trump’s flurry of executive orders. According to the centrist dad, streamlining governance is a red flag and now qualifies as “emperor”-like behaviour:
