Hinterher hecheln.



Wie soll man eigentlich bei der noch nie dagewesenen Lügen- und Skandal-Kaskade aus dem Weißen Haus noch nachkommen?

"Ich liebe Chicago", sagte Donald Trump, "tolle Stadt." Nur all diese Morde, "ein schreckliches Gemetzel", "die Leute werden links und rechts erschossen". Dabei sei das Problem doch so einfach zu lösen. Und wenn Chicago das nicht alleine schaffe, werde er das eben selbst in die Hand nehmen müssen.
Es ist eine kurze und doch bezeichnende Passage: Übertreibung, Unwahrheit, Drohung sind Trumps bevorzugte Mittel. Auchin seinem ersten TV-Interview als US-Präsident, das er dem Sender ABC gab, griff er darauf zurück.
Trump wiederholte falsche, haltlose und gefährliche Behauptungen der vergangenen Tage: Das "größte Publikum aller Zeiten" habe seiner Vereidigung beigewohnt. Seine Wahl sei "einer der größten Siege überhaupt" gewesen, trotz millionenfachen Wahlbetrugs. Folter funktioniere - und sei ein probates Mittel im Kampf gegen den Terror.
Die fast schon alltäglichen Aufreger vernebeln den Blick auf die wahren Skandale der noch jungen Ära Trump. Und da gibt es einige. Die vier brisantesten Komplexe im Überblick: [….] 1., [….] 2., [….] 3., [….] 4. [….]

Es gab in der deutschen Politik wirklich prominente Vertreter, die offensichtlich die letzten 18 Monate US-Wahlkampf ignorierten und wie Angela Merkel erst mal zum Abwarten rieten. So schlimm werde es schon nicht werden mit Trump.
Er habe eine Chance verdient.

Vorgestern gab CDU-Rechtsaußen und Finanzstaatssekretär Jens Spahn der CNN-Starmoderatorin Christiane Amanpour ein Interview, in dem er die Trump-Präsidentschaft wiederholt als große Chance bezeichnete und darlegte durch „America-First“ profitiere auch Deutschland.

'America First' can be a win-win
German Deputy Finance Minister Jens Spahn tells Christiane Amanpour he thinks President Trump's "America First" slogan should also mean working together.

Spahn spricht also English, sogar recht fließend, ohne zu stocken. Allerdings mit starkem Akzent und ohne allzu komplizierte Worte.
Das ist aber schon das einzig Positive.
Trump ist nicht nur ein pathologischer Lügner, Soziopath und Sadist, der gerade wieder die Folter einführen will, sondern er überzog schon mehrfach Angela Merkel mit abstrusen, erlogenen Vorwürfen. Zuletzt vor ein paar Tagen, in dem BILD-Interview, als er faktenwidrig behauptete Merkel habe England dazu gezwungen massenhaft kriminelle Flüchtlinge aufzunehmen und dadurch den Brexit ausgelöst.
Die Kanzlerin bleibt aber eine begnadete Kontorsionistin.
Nach diesen amerikanischen Tritten mitten in ihr Gesicht, verbiegt sie sich genau wie gegenüber Recep Tayyip Erdoğan bis zur Unkenntlichkeit, um devot vor Trump zu kriechen; läßt ihren Finanzstaatssekretär erklären, hier handele es sich um eine „Win-Win-Situation“.

Es erleichtert Merkel natürlich den politischen Alltag, daß sie nicht zu beleidigen ist und auch die größten Demütigungen ungerührt hinnimmt.
Allerdings repräsentiert sie auch ihr Land und fügt Deutschland Schaden zu, wenn sie durch ihr Nichtreagieren signalisiert „Los Amis – hört mich ab, setzt die größten Lügen über die Berliner Regierung in die Welt – uns stört es nicht!“

Trump rangiert am anderen Ende der aktiven und passiven Beleidigungsfähigkeit.
Er gerät allerdings schon durch das gelegentliche Aufblitzen von Fakten derart in Rage, daß man schon nach wenigen Tagen im Amt weiß wer ihn beurteilen sollte: Politologen und Analysten sind nicht mehr gefragt. Trump ist ein klarer Fall für Psychiater, Zwangsjacke und Gummizelle.

Sein Kampf wider die Realität kann nur noch mit einer extremen Persönlichkeitsstörung erklärt werden.


Lustig, nachdem es keinerlei Hinweis auf die von Trump behauptete Millionenfache Wahlfälschung zugunsten Clinton gibt, wurde inzwischen bekannt, daß doch einige wenige Wähler illegal in mehreren Staaten gleichzeitig als Wähler registriert sind.
Nämlich sein Chefberater und Schwiegersohn Jared Kushner, seine Tochter Tiffany Trump und sein Wahlkampfmanager Bannon.

[….] Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and one of his closest White House advisers, is registered to vote in both New Jersey and New York, according to elections officials and voting registration records, another high-profile example of how common it is for voters to hold dual registrations.
With Kushner, The Washington Post has now identified four Trump family members or top administration appointees who were registered in two states during the fall election. The others are chief White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon; Tiffany Trump, the president's youngest daughter; and Treasury Secretary nominee Steven Mnuchin, as first reported by CNN. […..[

Tiffany Trump on voter rolls in 2 states, despite claims otherwise by Kellyanne Conway
Just one day after President Donald Trump said he would ask for a "major investigation" into his unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway pushed back on proof that shows the president's youngest daughter on voter registration rolls in two states.
Tiffany Trump is currently registered in both New York City and Philadelphia, according to state election records in New York and Pennsylvania. Trump was a student at the University of Pennsylvania until her graduation last May.

Trump sind Fakten egal; er befindet sich regelrecht im Kampf mit der Wirklichkeit und schmeißt sich an den Lügensender FOX-News heran.
Jener Sender, der das Kunststück vollbringt seine Zuschauer noch schlechter informiert zu hinterlassen als Menschen, die überhaupt gar keine Nachrichten konsumieren.

Trump says he doesn’t need facts as long as ‘very smart’ Fox News viewers agree with him
Trump’s first interview as president illustrated how Fox News is becoming Trump propaganda.

During his first interview as president of the United States, Donald Trump was challenged by ABC News’ David Muir about his baseless claim that up to five million illegal votes were cast in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump could muster no actual evidence to support the oft-debunked voter fraud allegation he’s repeatedly made since November. So instead, he cited opinions espoused by Fox News hosts and shared by the network’s “very smart” viewers.
“Let me just tell you, you know what’s important, millions of people agree with me when I say that if you would’ve looked on one of the other networks and all of the people that were calling in they’re saying, ‘We agree with Mr. Trump. We agree.’ They’re very smart people,” Trump said. […..] [….]

Liebe Medien, der Punkt, an dem man Trumps Lügen nicht mehr LIVE übertragen darf, ist längst überschritten.
