Snaran dras åt

Bland det mest intressanta att läsa i The New York Times är läsarkommentarer till olika artiklar. Ibland är de 300  - 500 ...

Här ett exempel på en kommentar till artikeln "Manafort Indictment Is Bad News for Trump" av  NORMAN EISEN, NOAH BOOKBINDER and BARRY BERKE ( Oct. 30, 2017).
Indictment betyder åtal. Det gäller förstås de arresteringar som gjordes idag.

Så här skriver A. Stanton, Dallas, TX:

"Trump’s journey through life has consisted of one swindle after another. Whether it was his phoney baloney bone spurs to beat the draft, his bankrupting of Atlantic City, his eviction of senior citizens from his properties, his cheap neckties made in China, his defrauding of students at Trump University, his birther project, his tax avoidance schemes, his dalliances with Mr. Putin, his alliance with Sheriff Joe; or his hanging around beauty contests to ogle teenagers, his motive has always been the same: to get more of everything for himself in the cheapest, basest way he can.

We need to stop psychoanalyzing this man in hopes of changing him or changing the outcome of future events for the better, We already know that he is a man supremely unconcerned about everyone but himself. We already know that he is a man of profoundly low character. We already know that he is an ignoramus who never should have been elected President. We already know that as long as he remains in office, our very future as a nation will remain in danger.
I don’t care about health care, the environment, tax relief or North Korea. These are all minor matters compared to removing him.
I just want to see him turned out of office. For colluding with the Russians, for tax fraud, for violations of the Mann Act, for unpaid parking tickets or -- if necessary -- for unpaid library fines (yes, I know he doesn’t read), I don’t care which.
Today was a good start."

I samma tidning skriver Michelle Goldberg i artikeln "The Plot Against America" bl.a så här:

- - - "Monday’s indictments offer evidence of things that Washington already knows but pretends to forget. Trump, more gangster than entrepreneur, has long surrounded himself with bottom-feeding scum, and for all his nationalist bluster, his campaign was a vehicle for Russian subversion." - - -

Ja det är synnerligen märkligt att dom inte lyckas samla ihop tillräckligt mycket för åtal, ja vi får se, fräck bild på Kaffka!

Det intressanta med amerikans journalistik är att de allt mer börjar kalla olika fenomen med sina rätta namn, som ovan, - - - Trump, more gangster than entrepreneur, has long surrounded himself with bottom-feeding scum - - -
Men sådana typer brukar ju vara svåra att fånga ...
