Trump’s defeated by SCOTUS. Trump turns to Greenland again. Tweets, Tweets, Tweets, every night the same. At 1 AM this morning, he tweets (on his notorious TruthSocial platform),
“Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It’s on the way!!! President DJT”
Haven’t Greenlanders told him, get out? (Too polite to shout, Go Fuck Yourself!)
…
BTW, I asked AI Gemini a certain question about TruthSocial. Here is the answer I got.
Hooman Majd has got a questionable reputation during the so-called Green Movement in Iran, brutally crushed by the regime (similar to what had happened only a couple of weeks ago), when the election of 2009 in Iran was probably rigged and Iran’s firebrand President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was “re-elected” for a second term. Author and journalist Majd, frequently writing for mainly US media outlets, was, in particular for the Iranian diaspora, way too apologetic of the regime.
But having finished it, I have to admit that I was wondering who was actually to be addressed, who should read that memoir? The mainly two parts of his book describe his life in the music business as, well, his boss’s, Chris Blackwell’s, minister without portfolio at Island Records and its numerous offshoots in 50 years or so; as well as his second career as author and journalist in and about Iran under the presidents Mohammad Khatami (Majd’s relative by marriage) and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I have written about Ahmadinejad’s biography of 2008 by Kasra Naji here.
The above is courageous. Note that a famous designer of carnival floats, Jacques Tilly, had been sued earlier this year by nobody else than: Vladimir Putin, for defamation of state organs.
YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen launched a scoop yesterday when he interviewed former US President Barack Obama on topics encompassing current President Donald Trump’s racist ape depiction of his predecessor and his wife, even Bad Bunny, and how the Democrats will win the next election.
The contrast between these two Presidents was breathtaking. Has Obama been Plato’s Philosopher King? At least Trump is not.
One year on, I remember having got a panic attack when in the center of my city, just after an appointment to my dermatologist. The annual Munich Security Conference had its decisive moment when US Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the Europeans in a special way, admonishing. For democracy’s sake, as a, element of uncertainty, a security threat.
It was two weeks before the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on 28 February 2025, had come to the White House and was treated in a way, not only by President Donald Trump but also by Vance, nobody had ever experienced coming as an alleged ally of the United States. And later he was complimented out of the White House.
