La Corée du Nord défie une nouvelle fois les États-Unis

Après une accalmie la Corée du Nord a effectué hier un important lancement de missile. S'il faut en croire les informations qui émanent du pays, ce serait le tir avec la plus longue portée enregistré jusqu'à maintenant. Pour l'instant la réplique américaine est particulièrement sobre.

 "The most remarkable thing about North Korea’s missile test on Tuesday wasn’t that it happened; as the country’s nuclear-weapons program has entered the final stretch of development, Kim Jong Un has steadily demonstrated missiles of increasing range and nuclear bombs of increasing power. What was most striking was how the Trump administration initially responded to one of North Korea’s most provocative actions yet toward the United States.

North Korea dramatically concluded a 74-day pause in its nuclear and missile tests, which had raised hopes that tensions on the Korean peninsula were easing. It launched into the waters off Japan a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that, according to an assessment by the arms-control expert David Wright, appears to “have more than enough range to reach Washington, D.C., and in fact any part of the continental United States,” challenging the American president’s professed commitment to preventing North Korea from acquiring the capability to fire nuclear weapons at the U.S. (Wright points out that it’s unclear whether the missile displayed on Tuesday can carry a heavy nuclear warhead to the American mainland.) Donald Trump and his advisers reacted with considerable restraint."

Trump de plus en plus dérangé? Un dossier de plus en plus étoffé

Pourquoi s'intéresser à ce nouvel article qui remet en question l'équilibre mental du président des États-Unis? Parce que la liste de ses déclarations intempestives et farfelues s'allonge continuellement et que la situation contribue à nourrir les rumeurs autour d'une éventuelle destitution ou d'un recours au 25e amendement pour lui retirer la présidence.

 "To date, Trump has made over 1,600 false or misleading claims as president. Routinely, the lies are demonstrably false, often laughably so. But this actually serves his ends. It is impossible to disentangle this from his constant effort to undermine the news media, seen again in today’s NBC tweet. In many cases the attacks on the media are outlandishly ridiculous, dating back to the tone-setting assertion that the media deliberately diminished his inaugural crowd sizes, even though the evidence was decisive to the contrary. Here again, the absurdity is the whole point: In both the volume and outsize defiance of his lies, Trump is asserting the power to declare the irrelevance of verifiable, contradictory facts, and with them, the legitimate institutional role of the free press, which at its best brings us within striking distance of the truth."

Matt Lauer congédié par NBC pour inconduite sexuelle

Après Charlie Rose récemment, un autre gros nom des médias américains est emporté par la vague de dénonciations de cas d'inconduites sexuelles ou de harcèlements. Lauer est une figure populaire de l'émission matinale depuis longtemps. Le président Trump, lui-même accusé de harcèlement, n'a pas manqué de pointer l'animateur et la chaîne NBC dans un gazouillis tôt ce matin. "Lauer has co-anchored “Today" for two decades, conducting interviews with U.S. presidents, world leaders and major cultural figures. He was tapped to moderate a 2016 NBC candidates forum featuring Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, a performance panned by many in the media. He also traveled widely for the morning show, in recurring segments like “Where in the World is Matt Lauer,” and was a familiar face during special networks events, from the Olympics to co-hosting its broadcast last week of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade." https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/29/matt-lauer-fired-from-nbc-for-inappropriate-sexual-behavior-267887

Donald Trump relaie des vidéos anti-musulmans sur Twitter

Une fois de plus Donald Trump défie les conventions et il relaie des vidéos anti-musulmans par le biais de son compte Twitter. Les vidéos avaient d'abord été associées au compte de Jayda Fransen, vice-présidente du parti d’extrême droite Britain First.

 "Trump’s tweets were strongly condemned by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.

“By his unconscionable and irresponsible actions this morning, President Trump is clearly telling members of his base that they should hate Islam and Muslims,” said Nihad Awad, the group’s national executive director. “These are actions one would expect to see on virulent anti-Muslim hate sites, not on the Twitter feed of the president of the United States. Trump’s posts amount to incitement to violence against American Muslims. His actions should be condemned by all American political and religious leaders, regardless of their party or faith.”
