But, take heart, there are many positives in this new world order and Walcha can directly benefit. YES, WE CAN. Read on ...

First think about the stimulus to the world economy created by Trump’s ascendancy; stand-up comedians have enough material to last a life-time; someone, right now,  is working on a complete 20-volume set of trumpisms (just in time for Christmas); men across the world are inundating hairdressers requesting a look-alike bouffant hairdo; the folk who created the Charles and Di crockery are already busy with the Trump and what’s-her-name dinner service. Yes folks, you could soon be eating scrambled eggs off Trump’s face; the printed T-shirt market is being revived  ‘give your mousse an extra pump if you want to look like Trump’.

And of course new dictionaries are now being  printed to include neologisms such as: ‘trumpette’ - a woman who is attracted to money and power; ‘to be trumped’ - to be continually given stupid answers to your questions causing you to give up trying to communicate with that person; and to feel ‘trumpled’ - the emotional aftermath of being in the company of someone like Trump.

And now the important bit ... how Walcha can benefit from the new president.

Easy!  All we have to do is declare Walcha a TRUMP-FREE ZONE. All us Walcha-rites will promise not to mention his name (we could do this at a ‘gazump trump’ rally at the showground). And, of course,  each day the Walcha Newsagency will happily black out Trump’s name in all the papers and mags before they go on sale.

Walcha will be instantly inundated with delighted American democrats, happy to spend heaps of money in our town as they celebrate their delight at temporarily escaping the machinations of the Trumpocracy.

See you at the rally! ... ROCKY ROAD
