Who is Bridget Trump?
With all the gloom and misery surrounding the campaign, election, inauguration and reign of Donald Trump, I think the world is in need of some levity, and there happens to be a perfect distraction from the non-stop media debate over America's new President, in the form of Bridget Trump's Diary.
London comedian Tiff Stevenson had the great idea to set up a parody Twitter account that imagines what Bridget Jones' diary would sound like if it were written by the heavily-tanned, hand-waving Donald Trump himself, instead of the dumpy, emotional Bridget.
Regarding the account, Stevenson said, "It's remarkable how little you have to change, there are so many parallels between Bridget and Donald. They are both utterly consumed with how other people see them and they are constantly chasing after the wrong guy. They share a love of words and exclamation marks too, such as vile!, tremendous!, media!, winning!, stupid!, weak!, smart!, loser!, love!"
The one immediate difference that springs to mind is Bridget's endearing nature, the way she has everyone rooting for her. On the contrary, Trump is so unpopular that it seems at times a statistical impossibility that the man was actually voted into office; if everyone we hear from bloody hates him, who the hell ticked his name on the ballot? Stevenson also had this to say about Trump in comparison to Bridget, "I think Trump could learn a lot from Bridget because she is likeable and when she makes a mistake she owns it rather than point the finger of blame at others."
Wise words. Check out the diary here: https://twitter.com/BRIDGETTRUMPSD1
