Do Americans still believe the twaddle this man keeps outpouring? He seems ready to keep accusing news media of "Fake News" yet seems to do little beyond make up rubbish himself. Have the American people not realised this yet?

Yes, at least many, and no, at least many, respectively. At least if my US Buddy speaks true, and I'm sure he does.

Trump will turn America into a Dystopia.
I don't think he will. Most people are fundamentally decent I believe, even if they are, on occasion, misguided and gullible.
I didn't like how trump referred to 'my generals' in what he said either. They are not 'his', they are the USA's generals. That's dictator-speak. In his case, tinpot-dictator speak.

I find it annoying when people refer to him (or any US President) as "Leader of the Free World" - for obvious reasons.

He would be overpromoted as the Leader of Flea World

It is up to the US to call him out
The recent "He knew what he signed up for" debacle is a classic
A number of reputable individuals report the incident, and Trump simply dismisses them as liars and states that it is "Fake News" and he has proof
OK - call him out, issue legal proceedings, whatever it takes to make him show the proof that the has (or more. like hasn't)
To many, it's yet further evidence that the political establishment is trying to stitch up their man. Let's face it, they bought the ticket in the first place.
Latest is, he seems to be forgetting names. Even the name of a dead US serviceman whose widow he was phoning.... http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41724827 I wish everyone in USA would 'forget' the name and face of the incumbent POTUS. Then, when next he tries stomping into the White H after a round of golf, the security guys stop him and challenge: "Who the hell are you?" With any luck, if he persists in pushing his way through, they draw their trusty Colt 45s and finish him off on the spot......
One can dream, can't one?

I think that they are in fact his Generals just as "our" Government is Her Majesty's Government.
My government’s priority is to secure the best possible deal as the country leaves the European Union. My ministers are committed to working with Parliament, the devolved administrations, business and others to build the widest possible consensus on the country’s future outside the European Union.

Yes, but (correct me if I'm wrong), the United States Constitution begins with the words We, the People, surely? It doesn't begin with the words I, the President, does it?
Of course, the UK has no written constitution so the Queen (who has no executive powers under the unwritten Constitution) is perfectly entitled to say My Government...

I thought the UK Government was Theresa Mays's. She keeps talking about "My Government ...". e.g. "Theresa May: My Government will deliver the will of the British people by taking us out of the European Union", "“Yes ... I‘m here for the long term and it’s crucial, what me and my government are about is not just delivering on Brexit", etc. Queen and May might need a chat to decide whose Government it is ... fight, fight, fight. In reality it ought to be ours ... at least if we lived in a democracy it would be.
