Out of last week's 35 this is how many ran this week:

Leaving it mighty fine to have a christmas rally, and all eyes are fixed firmly on Trump.

Les Grossman's kind offer to assist in the negotiations unfortunately have been rejected.

Following a terrible week in the market, things were looking pretty bleak until the major news announcement came:

"Spice Girls minus one will once again be performing their final Reunion Tour (John Farnham springs to mind) !!!!"

Now I know you're all just as excited about this as I am, but they have also kindly offered to help in the negotiations with some sassy dialogue:

CHINA:

If you want my future, forget my past

If you wanna get with me, better make it fast

Now don't go wasting my precious time

Get your act together

We could be just fine

TRUMP:

I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)

I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends

Make it last forever, friendship never ends

If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give

Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is
