Wolfgang Hampel, Betty MacDonald fan club founder, author of "Satire is my favorite animal" – considered by many critics and readers worldwide to be one of the most humorous books of all time – said: "When Donald Trump opens his mouth, he only tells tall tales. How could anyone elect this crazy grandpa as President of the United States of America? That will remain a mystery to me forever. I'm sure Betty MacDonald, the globally successful author of 'The Egg and I,' would have also torn her beautiful red hair out at this result!"---------------------------------------------------- EXPRESS 2 hours Excuse me?: Trump raves about Germany – and explains what we (supposedly) love so much: "Every week!" 1 minute reading time US President Donald Trump sees a coal boom in Germany.
