US donald trump Les Miserables
They played a ‘Les Mis’ song at the Governor’s Ball and it felt more appropriate than Trump could ever imagine
It was time for the Governor’s Ball in the White House at the weekend, where Donald Trump – who has taken to styling himself ‘King’ – and First Lady Melania played host to various political high-ups and their guests, and a jolly good time no doubt was had by all.

Except, by all accounts, Trump is a big fan of the Les Miserables, although who knows if he knows what it’s about or if just likes the tunes (fact check – I think we all do actually know).
