Q: Mr President, have you been told that you're going to receive the inaugural FIFA peace prize today?
TRUMP: I have been told. There's a rumor about it. That would be a great honor.

Finally started on my Meccano project, in our plastic era it’s so satisfying to build something out of steel and nuts and bolts!
