To many people Donald Trump comes across as an alpha male, a snarling bully with a giant ego who objectifies women and takes offence at the slightest hint of criticism.

Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
