GET OUTTA TOWN, MR PRESIDENT

-

NEW York may be Donald Trump’s home but most New Yorkers seem intent on making sure he doesn’t feel that at home there.

Visiting friends there last week, they told me how their children’s school reacted to his victory in the US presidenti­al election.

Two days after the shock result, parents were invited to join their children in singing John Lennon’s Imagine outside the school. Hundreds did and now a video of the event is played on a loop as the children walk into school each day.

Locals grumble at the disruption in Fifth Avenue, with the police cordon which is now – and for the foreseeabl­e future – around Trump Tower, which is disrupting trade at famous stores such as Tiffany’s.

And in the bars most of the chat is how long Mr Trump, pictured, will last as President and whether he could be impeached over his links with Russia and Vladimir Putin’s interferen­ce in the election.

Mr Trump may have been elected on the promise of ‘draining the swamp’ of US politics – but most New Yorkers would like to see their city drained of him.
