The technique of bombarding the world with fake news nonstop (in addition to bombs in Iran) is profitable. We can no longer talk about anything other than his moods and grandiloquent, empty phrases. It is becoming difficult to understand Americans, whose “American Dream and way of life” was not long ago held up as an unbeatable model! That seems a long way off now.
Clearly, the people they elected only understand bombs and God’s blessing at the same time; we are seeing a repeat of the alliance between the sword and the sprinkler. This government will go down in history as the one that played a major role in the descent into darkness, the loss of the laws that allow us to live together, and the return of the far right in its many forms. We can take advantage of this to try our hand at humour, because there are plenty of opportunities!
With the air of someone who has made a major discovery, the president makes a major announcement in the presence of the FIFA president, who has just awarded him the grand prize for soccer. It seems he still has room on the mantelpiece for fake prizes… We have raised $70 million to build a mega soccer stadium in Gaza, and we will bring in the best players in the world!
Frankly, we are in awe. Here is a piece of land that is 90% destroyed, with nearly 100,000 dead, most of them children and women, widespread famine with mothers forced to give their children seawater because there is no water, hundreds of children who have lost at least one limb, often both legs—like one of the former hopes of Palestinian soccer—and the impossibility of sending prosthetic limbs—they are potential weapons of war, according to the Israeli authorities—the fourth or fifth strongest army in the world is afraid of pieces of wood… One wonders whether stupidity exceeds cynicism. In any case, the limits of minimum empathy and decency have been exceeded.
Then, the President has an advisor for faith. Yes, yes, this gentleman, whose honesty, integrity, and respect for women are not his cardinal virtues, must pray and be guided by God. This advisor is circulating a video on social media that I recommend everyone watch. She is clearly crazy, in a trance; in the Middle Ages, she would have been accused of witchcraft. And that is what guides the world. And a combat officer reportedly said, “President Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the signal in Iran with fire, causing Armageddon and marking his return to Earth.” And that’s what guides the world, no wonder we’re sinking into darkness.
