Quiz: Eight months of Trump - how much can you remember?

US President Donald Trump has more than three years left in his presidency, but you can’t block him out that long. I did try — switched from CNN to the Game Show Network and watched average people trying to name the capital of Mali instead of the most powerful leader on the planet trying to make it harder to vote.

But we can’t ignore the guy forever. Let’s see how much you can remember about the first sixth of his new administration.

How’d you do? Here’s how to interpret your score:

• 1-4: Look, this is the most powerful man in the world. Suck it up and open your ears.
• 5-8: Not great, unless you’re hoping for tops in avoidance.
• 9-11: Probably where you want to be. For now.
• 12-14: Yeah, he’s one of the most powerful men in the world. But we want you to get through the next 3 1/2 years in your right mind. May I recommend the Game Show Network?
