J’Accuse of January 8, 1925 on Trump’s latest threats: an emperor who wants to restore lustre to a crumbling empire

Yesterday, the new American president Donald Trump, even before ascending the throne of the White House, thundered fiery words like a mad and angry volcano. They are horrendous threats to enemies and allies to achieve his goal of restoring the greatness and authority of his America, "Bring great America again", which has been crumbling in these long and disastrous years of the Biden presidency. In short, Trump takes it out on Panama, which has had the canal of the same name managed by a Chinese company, and promises to invade the Caribbean country to allow Washington to restore its control over this crucial point. He even lashes out against neighboring Canada, guilty of not contributing to its defense left to the charge of American taxpayers, threatening to impose huge customs duties on its products and even to annex it if necessary for the purposes of American security. Then he takes it out on Denmark, guilty of not wanting to sell Greenland to his country, seen by the new president as a strategic area for geopolitical and commercial interests. Finally he thunders against the Palestinians of Hamas: you will have hell if you do not free the hostages, as if the horrors and massacres they have had so far were insufficient. In short, it is no longer the electoral Trump who went to the Islamic communities of key states such as Michigan and Ohio to beg them to give him their vote in exchange for the promise to restore peace and trampled rights. We know well that there is no difference in values ​​between Republicans and Democrats. They are identical in their fury against the most dissenting and oppressed in the world and even in their own country which is full of inequalities where the Musks, Zuckerbergs and Bill Gates only act in a financial system characterized by unfair and anti-economic rules where the virtual economy prevails over the real one and where wealth is created and erased as if they were sand dunes. It is the alchemy of the dollar and I would say ultimately the supremacy of a currency that constitutes the locomotive of American imperialism, precisely what the new president Trump wants to restore with the force and abuses announced.
