Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-9-2022: Fiji

7th September, 2022.

Yes: it’s official.

Radio Four* is on: and Amol Rajan has just used the phrase, ‘Policy Wonk,’ on an open channel.

At least my socks are dry.

Which is nice.

Frankly?

I can put my feet up, and look up the word wonk.

Donald Trump’s possibly in trouble.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation raided his Mar-a-Lago estate, recently.

And, according to news, today?

According to the Guardian, one of the documents recovered ‘described a foreign government’s nuclear capabilities.’

The sort of thing a former government official is only supposed to have access to under very limited circumstances.

There’s questions, there.

Which government?

And?

Why did Trump have them?   Especially after he was out of office.

I’d hate to accuse him of planning to sell them to America’s enemies.

But I bet I’m not the only person who’s thought of that … … …

*        I’ve now put some music on.   Bowie’s Absolute Beginners — his best song, if you ask me — is playing in the background.

†        Iman’s daughter’s taking a bit of a punt, there, Olga!   Both careers are … risky … Still, wish her luck for me!   I have managed to leave a Good Luck Message on Jude’s phone: I know I’m nervous enough for the both of us!

†        Hello, Mum!

^        You know, I’ve never actually read any Highsmith, Debbi?   I’ll have to keep an eye open!
