Trump face à ses promesses

Certains l’espèrent, d’autres le redoutent. Beaucoup de monde se demande si le futur président des États-Unis ira au bout de son programme. Donald Trump a formulé un certain nombre de promesses durant la campagne, et il est légitime de s’interroger sur ce qui, dans cette liste à la Prévert, tenait de la stratégie électorale d’une part, de la perspective de fond d’autre part. Le sort du monde durant ces quatre prochaines années dépend en partie de cette distinction.

THE ENDURING REALITY OF GOVERNMENT BY WEALTH AND SOME OF ITS CONSEQUENCES

 So here is America, self-proclaimed land of the free, mired in a vast situation where it works to suppress democracy, supports tyrants, and supports aggressive war because its leaders, with no genuine consent of the governed, have put it there, and this is just one of many unhealthy and destructive consequences of wealth’s rule in the United States.

We are thus faced with a messy set of problems:  widespread lack of popular awareness of how special interests can control government, what this can result in, and the fact that this lack of awareness is likely compounded by the public’s equally widespread apathy regarding their own ignorance.
