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.

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…
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 and same Western world dominated by the United States.

America’s lost “golden age”
The reasons for this are not specifically American, as there are many other Trumps around the world. Nor does it have anything to do with Joe Biden's belated withdrawal, since Donald Trump had already won over half the American people months earlier.

Europe after the 5th of November
In the first scenario, everything is tragically clear. If Donald Trump is elected on 5 November, he will not wait even until he takes office to seal with Vladimir Putin a division of Ukraine, based on the model of the two Germanies or the two Koreas.
