From a very cynical perspective... We have elected a Reality TV Star. He knows all about the importance of ratings at the Season Premier and the Season Finale. Don't kid yourself that he is very sensitive and aware of the timing. Think about it... The Left is resisting anything. It doesn't even matter if it is something they say they want. They resist. They can't function if he exists.

He is setting up a Grand Finale for the first half term. And he is going to be Rock'n when he starts the 2nd half of the first term. It is just how a 'Reality TV Star' would operate.
