Trump openly admitting FBI raid in Fulton County was a prelude to interfering with the midterms and attempting to seize control of state and local voting process
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Het punt is niet alleen of Ruttes vleierij al dan niet "werkt" - het grote probleem is dat het Trumps maffiose gedrag normaliseert. Er groeit een generatie op die nu meekrijgt dat corruptie, roofkapitalisme, imperialisme en repressie de norm zijn opdat we op korte termijn aan Trumps toorn ontkomen.
Bij ‘RTL Tonight’ was Mark Rutte te gast en hij sprak met Humberto Tan over zijn vriend Donald Trump. Wat hem betreft is Trump iemand die dingen afdwingt „op een goede manier”. De gasten bij ‘Buitenhof’ dachten daar anders over.

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.
