Merci, Musk
Thank you to this drug-addicted, megalomaniac brute, thank you to the man who thought he could reduce the US deficit by relying on a bunch of prepubescent imbeciles, thank you to the embodiment of the power of money, yes, thank you to this deeply detestable man, because thanks to him, Trump is finally seen for what he is: a grotesque,…

Address by a Member of the European Parliament to the Republican Members of Congress
I know it is not easy. By distancing yourself from your party, you risk incurring its wrath. With a man as resentful as Donald Trump, it is not just a risk, it is a certainty. But you no longer have a choice.

Ukraine: what can we expect from Trump’s change of heart in the Vatican?
We cannot rule out the possibility that the US president will once again give the Ukrainians the military means to impose a compromise that is not a surrender. But his reasons for wanting to reach an agreement with Putin run extremely deep.

Trump’s two cards
This is the most dangerous illusion of all. In the United States, in Europe and everywhere else, it is easy to believe that Donald Trump has piled up so many failures that all we have to do is wait until November 2026 and the mid-term elections to wake up from this nightmare.

The club of thieves and liars
It is unprecedented. Never before have we seen thieves, real thieves convicted of organized theft, call for a protest demonstration against the judgment that condemned them. We see thugs parading after their release from prison. We also see them celebrating the failure of the justice system to prove their guilt, but this Sunday meeting of the National Rally, no, that…

In spite of Trump and Putin: The reasons for hope
Sit down and cry? Cry with rage and fear at the speed with which Donald Trump and his men are attacking the American checks and balances and muzzling Republican elected officials by threatening to oppose candidates of their own in the next primaries?

The birth of a new West
There will be no business as usual, no return to the status quo ante, no resurrection of the post-war order. Even if we assume – which remains to be proven – that a normal president, Democrat or Republican, succeeds Donald Trump and closes what would have been nothing more than an astonishing parenthesis, we will not return to a single…

Even if we assume – which remains to be proven – that a normal president, Democrat or Republican, succeeds Donald Trump and closes what would have been nothing more than an astonishing parenthesis, we will not return to a single and same Western world dominated by the United States.

Five failures, not a single success
Donald Trump never stops singing his own praises. He probably really does believe he is truly brilliant, but apart from having caused global chaos in just seven weeks, what has he actually achieved?

Donald Putin and Vladimir Trump
America is a democracy. That is why Donald Trump is not Vladimir Putin, because unlike the Russian president, he will eventually come up against checks and balances in the judiciary, Congress, the press, the governors and the Federal Reserve.
