Why do the Anglo news outlets make such a big fuss about this Germanic
fellow called TRUMP?
Isn't he just a trouble maker?
Is the US so hard up for news?

it’s hard to see how.
Donald Trump’s speech announcing his 2024
presidential campaign was lackluster after the “red tide” failed to
materialize.

Trump always seems to bounce back from adversity. This time, it’s hard

When you announce a presidential run, you typically want to establish
yourself as the front-runner by having some momentum behind you and
demonstrating broad support from within your party. You certainly don’t
want to do it off a stunning electoral failure you’re being widely
blamed for, with members of your own party attacking you and people in
your inner circle advising you to delay the announcement.
But this is Donald Trump we’re talking about. Could it have gone any
other way?
Trump defiantly announced his 2024 presidential campaign Tuesday, a
week after a disappointing GOP midterm election performance led his own
advisers to urge him to delay the announcement. Having planned to take
credit for what he thought would be a Republican landslide that never
happened, Trump was in a bind: delay the event, looking weak and tacitly
admitting the election didn’t go his way, or barrel ahead with it
anyway, pissing off the Republican establishment while insisting
everything was going great. For anyone who’s watched Trump the past six
years, there was never any doubt what he’d do.
The speech was a relatively subdued one by Trump standards, heavy on
the teleprompter and mostly free of references to made-up election fraud
that have become synonymous with the former president over the past two
years (though he did at one point allude to China playing “a very active
role in the 2020 election”). It seemed a concerted attempt to present a
more sober, serious, presidential Trump, after a spate of
election-denying candidates in his mold fell short in their races last
week and the GOP’s entire underperformance was blamed on his years’
worth of efforts to cast doubt on and overturn the 2020 election result.

Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX cryptocurrency exchange, rose swiftly
as a Democratic mega-donor, rubbing shoulders with elites as he lobbied
for crypto-friendly regulation.

With FTX collapsing now, it’s clear his politicking demanded scrutiny
long ago.
Triangle of Sadness is more than a little over the top at times. But
so what? Unlike every other movie at the theaters, it’s over the top in
its scathing portrayal of the ugly realities of contemporary inequality.

Put the mainstream Democrats aside. After the midterms, more left-wing
insurgents are going to the House, Bernie Sanders has two strong allies
in the Senate, and progressive ballot measures passed everywhere.
Election night was a good night for the Left.
