It’s the question the President has been working fastidiously on for the past few days: who told the truth about him in a New York Times editorial piece?
So far, Donald Trump’s thirty-seven minutes of graft have yielded no results – but a s**t-tonne of tweets, at least.
But the Don’s net could be tightening, thanks to our traders.

We’ve priced up the odds on who wrote the controversial op-ed, installing outgoing White House counsel Don McGahn as the favourite (5/1).
Also amongst the front-runners are Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Defense Secretary James Mattis, and Chief of Staff John Kelly (all 6/1).
First Lady Melania Trump is a lengthy 200/1 in the betting, while the Donald himself is 500/1 – that really would be the ultimate trolling from the internet’s least popular troll.

Our own Paddy Power said: “Amid all the controversy, it’s good to know that someone is trying to manage how much damage Donald Trump wreaks in this season of his Presidential reality show.
“But he’s survived much worse during his first term – namely, his own chaotic decision-making and public outbursts.”
