In this US Report Kirk Clyatt looks at:

* It used to be said of Steve Jobs that he lived in ‘a reality distortion field’ can the same thing can be said of Trump? This week we’ve had plenty of more examples … could it be he really believes what he says?

Even for those not into USA politics … this gives you an interesting quick idea of what the US of A are dealing with.

* Thankfully NOT in Las Vegas, but the ‘polar vortex’ invaded much of America this week … and even thought Kirk was a TV weatherman for many years, he never reported on ‘Frost Quakes’ … until now … many thought they were explosions or an earthquake.

Of course in addition to football commercials are the star of the show … The Washington Post will even have one this year …

* How much credit card debt does it take to make you undateable … mmm?
