The government of Malta is now on Twitter

Anything that Donald Trump can do… So now we must tweet.

Looking at all these photographs in quick succession, of Prime Minister Muscat on his whistle-stop tour of EU member states, standing side by side with one head of government after another, only one thought occurred to me each time: “Oh look, they’re the same height. How strange that all EU heads of government are so short.”

But now it’s just occurred to me, in a blinding flash of midnight insight: Muscat didn’t choose which heads of government to meet at random. He chose them on purpose because of their (lack of) height, because the most important thing to come out of these meetings for him is these photographs.

No, not all EU heads of government are short, but he’s deliberately meeting the short ones. Would you have thought that the bull-like Viktor Orban is such a short man? No, I had no idea either.

Everything is calculated down to the last cynical detail with that Muscat – except, that is, for the possibility that Mossack Fonseca’s server in Panama might be hacked.
