French Senator: "A handful of drug addicts and alcoholics have seized power in America". [View all]

Wow! Mincing no words...




Full translation. We are the laughingstock of the international community:

A year ago, right here, I was comparing Trump’s presidency to the court of Nero. I was wrong, it’s the Court of Miracles.

An anti-vaxxer, a former heroin addict, is Minister of Health.
A climate change skeptic is Minister of Ecology.
An alcoholic TV host is Minister of the Armed Forces.
A former agent of Qatar is Minister of Justice.
A Putin groupie is Minister of National Security.

A Turkish proverb says: “When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become king, the palace becomes a circus.”

This fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since its Peace Council has existed, Trump has launched more military strikes than Biden did during his entire term.

Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and create a diversion.

Bomb more to gain more.

There isn’t a single country where Trump hasn’t taken advantage of the situation to enrich himself, never forgetting his family. A personal Boeing offered by Qatar, investments in projects across the Gulf and elsewhere, manipulation of stock prices benefiting a select few insiders.

Any one of these conflicts of interest would have triggered immediate impeachment proceedings here.

But we are not here, we are in MAGA America, where public affairs are conducted in the service of private interests.
