Strange to see European newspapers quote Trump‘s hateful and uninformed views on Europe as if he had any moral authority, or as if he was just a US President like any other. As if these newsrooms themselves were caught in some kind of jetlag in how they can‘t comprehend the new world we‘re in.

It's difficult to imagine Trump ruling any country other than America. If he did, he would be an international pariah. But because he is the President of the United States, foreign leaders are forced to pretend that he isn't an absolute lunatic. It's really something
Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

Trump doesn’t understand why everyone hates Putin today since the Soviet Union was our ally in WWII, but everyone likes Japan and Germany now. He says he can’t understand it and neither can Putin. Dumbest MF on the planet.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

This is the very essence of why the media TEN YEARS into the Trump post truth era continues to fail to cover politics in any meaningful way. Treating MAGA as a normal polical movement is a dead end, but the media repeatedly goes into that cul de sac over and over and over.
Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.
