A helm which also effectively has the ability to steer much of the western world's economy and peaceful ambitions.
There were two other widely discussed observations which were going around last year and one was emerging a couple of weeks into his reign and it was "he'll be gone in a month".
Then a little while after that, after he had not gone, there was a sort of levelling out for it became "aah he'll be gone in a year".
So then, here we are, a year later and unlike pretty well every member of his management and departmental team, he's still here.
So there has been a further softening of what lies ahead for Mr Trump who still has about two-and-a-half years to go in his tenure as 45th President of the United States.
I've heard more people saying things along the line of "he appears to be getting away with it".
The same number of people have also been remarking that "you couldn't even write a script like this" and "it goes to show that anyone could be the president".
The latter is right on the money...and I would happily put some of that money on a wager that if Oprah Winfrey were to stand for the role she would in time likely be learning some new lines of television script...those which comprise the oath of office.
There is another "Trumpism" going around and it got a very strong airing after he invited Kim Kardashian to the White House to discuss...something.
"What's he thinking?"
And the obvious one "whatever next?"
Who knows.
Apparently he has a huge fan in Roseanne Barr who apparently had a personality change driven by sleeping pills...although it's not really clear which one of her
apparent dozen or so personalities it dissolved.
He's been on a pardoning push recently so hey, maybe she'll get a presidential pardon and be back on the screen in less time than it takes him to get his hair arranged for the day.
Well no, maybe a little bit longer than that.
The whole thing is pure Hollywood and I guess that's why it's working because it's all about profiles and posturing and comments and tweety-pies and (of course) ratings.
And here's another widely delivered observation..."how does he manage to get away with it?"
It's absolutely intriguing because no one seems to know.
Many of these verbal observations could also be delivered in response to the comings and goings and thoughts and opinions of Boris Johnson, the minister for whatever in the BBC...or is it the government?
He is in awe of Donald Trump and quick to commend him and defend him, which is fine and dandy because politics is like sports...you have to take sides.
Although some politicians are like referees...they prefer to sit on the fence.
I guess they both have the sort of rebel streak in them.
The sort of "I don't really care what people think about me" streak.
They also appear to have the same barber but we won't go there because that's been done to death...although in Boris' case I don't think his has ever been done at all.
And so it came to pass that only a few months after he decreed that the leader of North Korea was a "little rocket man" and that he had a bigger button than him anyway, Trump and Kim got together.
Sounds like a comedy double act doesn't it?
They sat down and talked about nuclear bombs and how cool Dennis Rodman is and according to Kim the whole world was watching.
I wasn't, as the southwesterlies looked ominous that day and there was washing on the line which I had to keep a very close eye on.
Okay, politics is done and dusted, but as I started with a warning I shall end with a warning.
Well, more a contents notification really as I bought a packet of frozen fish the other day and at the base of the back of the packet, in clear to see coloured lettering, were the words "Contains Fish".
I kid you not.
So given that, one final Trump note..."what is going on out there?"
