L’apocalypse selon Donald

Le Sénateur Claude Malhuret, est connu pour sa plume trempée dans l’acide et ses talents d’orateur qui transforment l’hémicycle en stand de tir. Cette année; comme l’année dernière,[01] le sénateur de l’Allier n’a pas déçu […]

The Apocalypse According to Donald

The world of 2026 is an open-air asylum where the keys have been handed to the most unstable patient. The planet’s leading power, guarantor of the current order, has become the one contesting it. It was our ally; today it is our adversary, before perhaps becoming our enemy tomorrow. It was a bulwark against dictatorships; it seems on the verge of becoming one.

Le crépuscule de la décence : De la médaille de Hamsun au sourire de Trump

Il est des images qui ne s’effacent pas. Elles s’impriment sur la rétine de l’Histoire non par leur beauté, mais par la violence symbolique qu’elles dégagent. La photographie de Donald Trump, trônant dans le Bureau Ovale, le sourire carnassier, brandissant le prix Nobel de la Paix de l’activiste Maria Corina Machado comme un chasseur exhibe un trophée, appartient à cette catégorie.

The Twilight of Decency – From Hamsun’s Medal to Trump’s Smile

There are images that do not fade. They imprint themselves on the retina of History not by their beauty, but by the symbolic violence they radiate. The photograph of Donald Trump, enthroned in the Oval Office, wearing a predatory smile, brandishing the Nobel Peace Prize of activist Maria Corina Machado like a hunter exhibiting a trophy, belongs to this category.

Die Dämmerung des Anstands – Von Hamsuns Medaille zu Trumps Lächeln

Es gibt Bilder, die nicht verblassen. Sie brennen sich in die Netzhaut der Geschichte ein, nicht durch ihre Schönheit, sondern durch die symbolische Gewalt, die sie ausstrahlen. Das Foto von Donald Trump, wie er im Oval Office thront, mit einem Raubtierlächeln, und den Friedensnobelpreis der Aktivistin Maria Corina Machado schwingt, wie ein Jäger eine Trophäe präsentiert, gehört in diese Kategorie.

Anchorage oder das Theater der Betrogenen: Als der „Sheriff“ mit dem Totalen Krieg verhandelte

Das Jahr 2025 wird als jenes in Erinnerung bleiben, in dem der ‚Aufschneider von Mar-a-Lago‘ glaubte, die Geschichte allein durch die Kraft seines Egos zähmen zu können. Getrieben von einem zwanghaften Bedürfnis, sein Revier zu markieren – wo das Tier das Bein hebt, bringt er seinen Nachnamen in massiven goldenen Buchstaben an –, wollte Donald Trump die Geopolitik in eine Branding-Operation verwandeln.

From Real-Politik to Real-Estate Politics

In 2025, peace in Ukraine is no longer a matter for diplomats, but for a real estate tycoon: Steve Witkoff, a friend of Trump, parachuted in as chief negotiator with zero experience. In the face of his blunders, all journalistic criticism is aggressively dismissed as a « foreign influence operation. » This marks the rise of « Real-Estate-Politik, » where war is treated like just another business deal. This playbook, first seen with Jared Kushner in the Middle East, reduces geopolitics to a transaction. Nations become assets, borders become contractual clauses, and human lives are a mere liability. The complexity of history is denied in favor of a bottom-line mentality. Peace is no longer an ideal to strive for, but simply a deal to be closed. And the greatest tragedy is watching the world applaud this deadly oversimplification.
