Last March - long before Donald Trump's entered the White House - the now-politician emerged victorious in nearly every Super Tuesday primary contest, resulting in some rather vociferous voices expressing their dismay at the possibility of a Trump-led US.

Joining the likes of Amy Schumer, Bryan Cranston, Chelsea Handler and Whoopi Goldberg, singer Miley Cyrus announced she would leave America before Trump was inaugurated.
However, nine months on from Trump's inauguration, it appears Cyrus - who openly supported democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton - has been left eating their words.
'I didn't leave the country. I'm not f*cking leaving the country, that's some ignorant sh*t, that's dumb,' she told NME.
'Because that's me abandoning my country when I think I've got a good thing to say to my country.'
Responding to haters who comment on her social media accounts daily asking her to leave her home country, the 24-year-old replied: 'And trust me, I hear every day on my Instagram, "Just leave already! When are you going to leave?" Well, that's not going to be any good.
'Does it really matter where I am? Because wherever I am, my f*cking voice is gonna be heard, and I'll make sure of it.
Later in the interview, the 'Can't Stop' singer admitted she also had some regrets when it came to her music video for her hit 2013 single 'Wrecking Ball'.
'I think people look at things that they've done and there is this sense of shame, or "I wish I wouldn't have done that" – not because I'm naked, by the way; it's because I feel like I'm in a deeper songwriting place.
'Lyrically I'm less impressed with that song for me right now. I feel like it doesn't reflect who I am now, but that's fine because it's not supposed to.'
Meanwhile, the star believes her latest album, Younger Now, is the prefect reflection of where she currently is in her life.
'I think I have more of an open mind where I'm like, "OK, I can be a bunch of different things every day", I don't have to be so locked into myself because then I'm putting those walls and borders around myself that I tell everyone else not to give in to.'
World, meet Miley 2.0. Or 3.0? We've lost count now after so many reinventions.
