But the next dimension of this tragedy could be even more troubling.

LBC, leading Britain's conversation.

Well, it's quite simple.

I just pick up the phone and dial it.

And sometimes he answers and sometimes he doesn't.

Usually he answers.

It is surreal.

The first time he answered, I wasn't expecting him to.

It was a Sunday afternoon and I was sitting there in my boxer shorts and the president answers.

And, you know, I wondered, should I stand up?

but it carried on into this even more surreal telephone call.

He, a couple of times, hung up on me because he had read a column I'd recently written, which wasn't terribly complimentary about how he's managing Operation Epic Fury, but he seems to have got over that hump and picks up.

And the optimal time, I have discovered...

is Sunday afternoon when he's padding around Mar-a-Lago worried, I think, about the markets opening the next morning and indeed that evening in Asia Pacific time.

And therefore, I imagine the Financial Times sort of seems a more logical choice if he wants to calm the markets.

I'm relatively polite.

I mean, the longest call I've had was 15 minutes.

The average have been sort of seven or eight minutes.

The most recent one was only a couple of minutes.

But he, the 15 minute one, he was getting quite repetitive.
