And people didn't necessarily appreciate their greatness at the time.

And I'm not sure that Trump sees it quite that way, but Trump certainly likes the idea that you're going to smash things and then people will realize how great you are because you smashed a lot of stuff.

I have American friends who go to Europe and they say they're Canadians because they don't want to admit that they're Americans at the moment.

He's going to do a lot of what you said.

Much of it may well be undone, but there's some of the stuff that can't be undone, which is literally remaking America.

If he builds the Arc de Trump, no one's going to knock it down.

He's already knocked the ballroom down, so he's going to have to build something in its place.

He's already ripping up the reflecting pool and painting it a kind of brilliant swimming pool blue that he thinks looks like a great American blue.

If he paints the old executive building, which is where the vice president works from, it's going to be very difficult for somebody to rip all of that paint off and cost a lot of money.

So some of this stuff, he's right.

This is permanent and it will change the face of Washington, which is exactly the point of it.

It does hurt America's brand around the world, and it is Trump, and I think this is why you see in the polls that this isn't playing well with Republicans, partly because they want him to focus on the job he was meant to do.

A bit like when Barack Obama focused on healthcare reform in 2008, and actually voters said, no, we wanted you to focus on the legacy of 2008 financial crash and make us feel better financially.

Love healthcare idea, but this is not what we elected you to do.

He's going to be in that position, not that he cares, his name's not on the ballot.

But people are also thinking this isn't how a president behaves.

This has none of the decorum of a US president.

The local airport in Washington DC that you fly into in the center of the city, when I lived here for the first 15 years of living in Washington, it was called National Airport.

And then it was changed, the name was changed under George W. Bush to Reagan Airport.

That was almost 20 years after Ronald Reagan had left office.
