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., [….]

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.
Trump
überführt die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika im Rekordtempo in ein
faschistisches Regime:
Unterdessen
feuert Trump seine Ungeheuerlichkeiten schneller ab, als man sie bewußt
wahrnehmen kann.
