And finally… bum wrap

A Mexican lawyer is marketing Donald Trump-branded toilet paper in protest of the US president’s insults towards Mexican people.

Corporate lawyer Antonio Battaglia’s new product, which will go on sale in Mexico later this year, is marketed under the slogan “Softness without borders” and “This is the wall that, yes, we will pay for.”

Battaglia’s trademark for “Trump” toilet paper was approved by Mexico’s Institute of Industrial Property in October 2015.

He has already signed a contract to manufacture an initial run worth about 400,000 pesos ($21,400), enough to fill two cargo trucks.

30 per cent of the profits from the toilet paper will go to programmes supporting migrants.
