President Trump has unveiled a new diagnostic chart for testing just how much you miss seeing "The Grand Tour" now that Jezza, Captain Slow, and the Hamster are just doing special adventures rather than the weekly episode from the tent in Clarkson's back yard. It also works for diagnosing those petrol heads who prefer the classic "Top Gear" prior to Clarkson's bust-up with the producer if you can imagine President Trump as The Stig's American…
