“A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump’s presidency to Nero’s Court,” Malhuret began. “I was wrong – it’s the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as minister of health [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.], a climate skeptic minister of economy [Scott Bessent], an alcoholic TV anchor, minister of the armed forces [Pete Hegseth], an old Qatar agent, minister of justice [Pam Bondi], a groupie of Putin, minister of national security [Tulsi Gabbard].”
“A Turkish proverb says, 'When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus,” Malhuret continued. “This great team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term.”
“Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction,” he added. “Bomb more to win more.”
It’s true that the US has a problem with political dynasties, and nepotism in general, but these issues are certainly not unique to America. While Kennedy’s last name got him on the ballot, and his presence there led to his current position, he’s about as qualified as anyone else in this administration. The only qualification that matters to Trump is total personal loyalty. If old worm-brains failed that test, he’d be out on his ass, replaced with any no-name toadying lickspittle that was convenient.
Well then, saying European monarchies is a problem is disingenuous if nepotism is a global problem providing outsized political power.
Yeah, I didn’t say that. I think vestigial European monarchies are among the least of our problems at the moment.
