Forum in Sankt Petersburg
Putin warnt vor Trumps Wirtschaftspolitik
Mit deutlichen Worten hat der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin beim Sankt Petersburger Wirtschaftsforum die Politik von US-Präsident Trump kritisiert. Der Weg der USA führe zu "endlosen Konflikten".

Auf dem Wirtschaftsforum in Sankt Petersburg hat Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin die Wirtschaftspolitik der USA verurteilt. Es gebe ein Risiko, dass ungezügelter "wirtschaftlicher Egoismus", der anderen Ländern mit Kraft aufgedrückt werde, zu mehr Konflikten in der Welt führe. "Es ist ein Weg zu endlosen Konflikten, Handelskriegen und vielleicht nicht nur Handelskriegen. Im übertragenen Sinne ist es ein Weg zu Kämpfen ohne Regeln, der alle gegen alle ausspielt", sagte Putin.

Der russische Präsident ist Schirmherr des Wirtschaftsforums, das von diesem Donnerstag bis Samstag in der russischen Metropole Sankt Petersburg stattfindet. Dazu sind Gäste aus aller Welt geladen, unter anderem Chinas Staatschef Xi Jinping.

Trump lobs another insult at Pelosi aboard Air Force One
President Donald Trump used his downtime on Air Force One to fire off another attack on Nancy Pelosi, scolding the House speaker for privately criticizing him while he was overseas.

Though Trump has not stuck to the political tradition of leaving politics on America’s shores while abroad, he referred to the speaker using a newly coined nickname, writing in a tweet that "Nervous Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to herself and her family for having made such a disgusting statement, especially since I was with foreign leaders overseas.”

Analysis: Trump an impolitic guest on trips abroad
Halfway through a summer set of four international trips, President Donald Trump has proven himself to be an impolitic guest, soaking up pomp and pageantry while leaving behind hosts he scorched despite their best efforts to favor the president with flattery.

Trump on Friday wrapped up five days in Europe that, much like his stay in Japan two weeks earlier, showed how his “America First” foreign policy mixed with his “Me First” Twitter habit have made him an unpredictable partner for America’s allies, who continue to grapple with how to manage the president and fortify economic and strategic ties with the United States.

Time after time, diplomatic niceties fell by the wayside as the president contradicted and undermined his hosts.
“Not only has Trump been ungracious on these trips, he is losing credibility with his behavior,” said presidential historian Douglas Brinkley. “No world leader can trust President Trump because at any moment he may shatter the glass right in front of him; a single whim, or tweet, could upend a deal that had been months in the making. He leaves world leaders wiping their brows and wishing for him to leave.”

Der mexikanische Präsident hatte erst kürzlich den Papst und den spanischen König zur Entschuldigung für die Eroberung des Atztekenreichs aufgefordert. (Ich denke, der Papst wird bestimmt der Aufforderung nachkommen.) Mir scheint, Trump spricht eine Sprache, die vom mexikanischen Präsidenten besser verstanden wird.

Fact check: What is the moon?

“For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon — We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!”
— President Trump

Trump’s $3.6 Million Ireland Detour Brings Taxpayer-Funded Golf Tab To $105.8 million
His for-profit golf course there posted promotional videos of him teeing off and his helicopter’s arrival — but deleted them after HuffPost began making inquiries.

President Donald Trump wrapped up a visit to his Ireland golf resort Friday, in the process adding at least another $3.6 million to a taxpayer-funded golf tab that totals nearly $106 million in just 2 1/2 years.

Trump played golf Friday morning and possibly also played Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The White House press corps was not allowed on the property and was instead kept at a hotel in Limerick, more than an hour away from Trump’s resort in Doonbeg.

‘The Cruelty Is the Point’
I frequently disagree with The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer, but late last year he wrote a piece that should resonate with any person who’s been in the crosshairs of the MAGA right. A fundamental aspect of truly Trumpist political engagement is the intentional infliction of harm on political opponents. Cruelty is the point of their interactions. That’s the purpose of their communication.

Donald Trump’s personal pugilism has been adopted, refined, and magnified by a legion of his supporters, and these individuals live to inflict misery.
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/th...y-is-the-point/


The Cruelty Is the Point
President Trump and his supporters find community by rejoicing in the suffering of those they hate and fear.

...Once malice is embraced as a virtue, it is impossible to contain.
The cruelty of the Trump administration’s policies, and the ritual rhetorical flaying of his targets before his supporters, are intimately connected. ...

... It is not just that the perpetrators of this cruelty enjoy it; it is that they enjoy it with one another. Their shared laughter at the suffering of others is an adhesive that binds them to one another, and to Trump.

Taking joy in that suffering is more human than most would like to admit. Somewhere on the wide spectrum between adolescent teasing and the smiling white men in the lynching photographs are the Trump supporters whose community is built by rejoicing in the anguish of those they see as unlike them, who have found in their shared cruelty an answer to the loneliness and atomization of modern life.

The laughter undergirds the daily spectacle of insincerity, as the president and his aides pledge fealty to bedrock democratic principles they have no intention of respecting. ...

The president and his advisers have sought to enrich themselves at taxpayer expense; they have attempted to corrupt federal law-enforcement agencies to protect themselves and their cohorts, and they have exploited the nation’s darkest impulses in the pursuit of profit. But their ability to get away with this fraud is tied to cruelty.

Trump’s only true skill is the con; his only fundamental belief is that the United States is the birthright of straight, white, Christian men, and his only real, authentic pleasure is in cruelty. It is that cruelty, and the delight it brings them, that binds his most ardent supporters to him, in shared scorn for those they hate and fear: immigrants, black voters, feminists, and treasonous white men who empathize with any of those who would steal their birthright. The president’s ability to execute that cruelty through word and deed makes them euphoric. It makes them feel good, it makes them feel proud, it makes them feel happy, it makes them feel united. And as long as he makes them feel that way, they will let him get away with anything, no matter what it costs them.

Malignant narcissists do accordingly to who they are. Trumski is a malignant narcissist.
He is not fit for the office he holds. And the US is going to pay dearly for this grave error. If she survives it.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.

The US posted a $234 billion budget deficit last month, the biggest one-month deficit in history
The US budget deficit hit $234 billion in the month of February, up 8.7% compared to the same month last year.
The February budget deficit was also the highest one-month deficit on record, eclipsing the previous record set in 2012.
The deficit is growing as the GOP tax law slows revenue intake and the bipartisan budget deal drives up spending.

Trump administration is responsible for the largest reduction in protected land in US history, study finds
The Trump administration is responsible for the largest reduction in the boundaries of protected land in US history according to a new study.

The study, one of the most comprehensive to date, was published Friday in the journal Science.
The study noted that in 2017, the Trump administration enacted two of the largest downsizes of protected lands in US history; Grand-Staircase Escalante National Monument in southern Utah lost 51% of its protected land and Bears Ears lost 85%. With those actions, land twice the size of Rhode Island came out of protection.

Trump Administration Plans to Reclassify High-Level Radioactive Waste as Low-Risk
The Trump administration is planning to reclassify high-level radioactive waste as low-risk, in a bid to cut as much as $40 billion from cleanup costs at nuclear weapons production sites around the U.S. A top Energy Department official called the proposal a “responsible, results-driven solution” to the problem of nuclear waste disposal. The move was condemned by environmentalists and scientists who say the waste needs to be contained in facilities deep underground. In a statement, the Natural Resources Defense Council said, “The Trump administration is moving to fundamentally alter more than 50 years of national consensus on how the most toxic and radioactive waste in the world is managed and ultimately disposed of.”

Der Unterschied zwischen Trump und Merkel:
Trump droht Mexiko mit Strafzöllen, falls Mexiko nichts gegen die Zuwanderung in die USA unternimmt. Mexiko reagiert und sendet Militär an die Grenze.
Merkel droht der Türkei mit der Übersendung von Milliarden deutscher Steuergelder, falls er etwas gegen die Zuwanderung aus der Türkei nach Deutschland unternimmt. Die Türkei reagiert erfreut auf die dumme Melkkuh und das probate Erpressungspotenzial.

Ich werde Sie wegen Missachtung von Urheberechten verklagen. Es ist nämlich NICHT "trumsik-Style".
Es ist allgemein gebräuchlicher Polit-Style. Alte Kamellen, die in der Politik gang und gäbe sind.
Nach Tschernobyl konnte man wochenlang keinen Salat mehr hier essen, weil er zu hoch radioaktiv belastet war. Was wurde dagegen getan? Man hat die Grenzwerte erhöht. Danach konnte man den Salat als unbedenklich einstufen und man durfte man ihn wieder essen.
Das gleiche geschieht gerade mit den Messwerten der Feinstaubbelastung: Die Politik wird die Messtellen weiter weg von der Straße aufstellen, damit die Werte geringer werden. :-)
