Ryder on the storm of Trump's divided nations

If he was in a mean state of mind before, he seems primed for vengeance by the time his stuttering tele-

- 

prompter kicks into life. This month's gathering coincides with one of the biggest Italian festivals in the city.

The feast of San Gennaro brought thousands onto the streets of Little Italy outside my hotel room last night.

The religious event was memorably immortalised in Francis Ford Coppola's Godfa-

ther Part 2 as the backdrop to the making of mob boss Vito Corleone as he takes out the old order.

Now on a Tuesday morning a little further uptown, another Don is looking to take care of family business.

From the podium Trump takes aim at his enemies the UN, Europe, immigrants and the renewable energy threat to the fossil fuel mafia. Among those being told climate change is a con job is the president of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
