The US President makes two appearances in a league table of 15 modern cracker jokes that also takes in issues ranging from Brexit and Boris Johnson to the royals and Love Island.

The survey of jokes has been running for six years and looks at topical alternatives to old standards such as ‘Why do birds fly south in the winter?’ (‘It’s too far to walk.’)

Top of the league this year is ‘What does Donald Trump do after he pulls a cracker?’

The answer – ‘Pays her off’ – is a reference to payments made by his lawyer over relationships with porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal.

The second presidential cracker joke references a bizarre meeting at the White House between Mr Trump and the rapper Kanye West, while West’s wife Kim Kardashian also makes the list by virtue of her famously curvy behind.

Also featuring on list created by TV channel Gold is ex Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

Meghan Markle features twice in the list and there are also cracks at Theresa May and Boris Johnson.

The annual league table is put together by TV channel Gold, which runs a competition for original jokes submissions that are whittled down by an expert panel and then put to a poll of 2,000 people.

Comedy critic Bruce Dessau, who led the panel, said: ‘One thing that can be relied upon in increasingly unpredictable times is that whatever is going on in the world the great British public will always retain their sense of humour.’
