Until five minutes ago, if you’d wanted to give yourself a good laugh you could have read a compilation of Donald Trump’s tweets, writes Suzanne Harrington

His dating advice, freely offered to Katy Perry (“Russell Brand is a loser!”) and Robert Pattison (“Dump Kristen!”), and his retweeting of someone’s hoax ‘dead parents’ – a photo of Fred and Rosemary West – to whom Trump had been “an inspiration”, all make for internet gold.

Only fat people drink Diet Coke, and all flights from countries affected by Ebola should be shut down. The usual raging troll stuff we had come to expect from the world’s loudest narcissist. It was all quite amusing until the words ‘presumptive’ and ‘nominee’ began appearing in the same sentence as the words ‘Donald’ and ‘Trump’.
