En dat gaat hem lukken: bedrijven en beleggers zijn nu al zo in paniek, die mannen laten zich weer met gemak over de tafel trekken door die geschminkte schreeuwer. Beleggers en bedrijfsleven hebben geen ballen

European here - where is the action, where is the resistance in the US? I've seen very weak politicians. I've haven't seen protests that match those we see in Istanbul or Belgrade or Budapest. My guess: the majority of americans support this madness

Bedankt beleggers. Dat jullie geen ruggegraat hebben was al veel langer bekend, maar dat jullie de wereld nu alweer in een grote economische crisis duwen, dat begint stilaan te vervelen. Hopelijk worden de fouten van 2008 niet herhaalt en worden bedrijven niet gered.

In other words, the Federation will bow, will lay down on the floor and kiss the feet of the orange emperor. I have always said it: politicians should not be afraid of entrepreneurs, they should be very tough on them: at the end of the day, entrepreneurs bow. Hope our politicians learn

replying my answer by posing a question... not showing your name or a profile photo of a person... Pretending not to know why some people no longer want to support Mr Musk's cars...The last time our parliament was stormed by an angry mob that didn't approve of the election result was ... never.

I wonder why... tell me, truth finder, why are people targeting only one brand of the many that build electric vehicles - people are not angry at BYD or Citroen or Opel or Fiat or Polestar - but they are mad at Mr Musk - why is that, truth finder?

These schoolboys think they know all and have no idea how much they still need to learn. Potentially dangerous, they could without realising it start WW3

Europeans understand that these schoolboys have just made things worse for everyone. And the real solution is so simple: a sovereign Palestinian State recognised by Israel and the USA.

European here - perhaps the most shocking thing was that various security and defense experts in various European countries agreed on one thing: amateurs, acting like schoolboys, unfamiliar with even the most basic of knowledge.

For historians of the 20th century, this all sounds too familiar. It is hardly surprising the Yale professor and author of 'How propaganda works' and 'How fascism works' has recently moved to Canada.

European here - I remember a time when Americans were laughing at us Europeans because of the strikes and protests. Now we in Europe are amazes you Americans show no empathy and no action, and just surrender. First the GOP, than Congress, now even universities surrender to Stalinism 2.0

No one accuses the far right of being honest and consistent. - well done Americans for making this second (!) Trump administration possible.

Somehow reminiscent of the Ant-fascist protection wall that the GDR erected in 1961 to 'preserve' peace and 'protect' its citizens

The Trump entourage is a better advocate for the russian narrative than the russians have been in the past decade - probably this unique blend of ignorance and arrogance that typifies so many people in the US

I do know the Wassily chair - when I was a student of architecture, one of my best friends had two old ones in his room, so I have become quite familiar with them. They are excellent to sit in while drinking coffee and discussing architecture and society 😇

European here - perhaps what is striking me most is that Americans do not have too much empathy, as Elon Musk suggests, but the opposite.

The narcissism was pointed out by several early in Trump's first presidency - but this is an interesting analysis that may explain some of Trumps actions of the past weeks.
In any case, a volatile person that is potentially a threat to security in this world.

Its was Hungary's national day - but demonstrations against Orban have been increasing in Budapest since last year (failing economy, rising inflation, child abuse cover-up story) - and next year there are the parliamentary elections.
