WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, Monde Libertaire - Trumpism is a mafiosoism (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 By withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, by destroying US-AID or by

asking States to withdraw their credits from FEMA (1), the organization
of American rescuers, by unilaterally imposing customs tariffs on all of
the United States' partners, Trump is breaking the entire previous
organization of the world. Suddenly, what Trumpism really is appears: a
mafiosoism. ---- Ukraine must choose: American aid against 500 billion
dollars of rare earths... American civil servants must choose: quit
their jobs or comply with Trumpist directives and apply them in full,
under penalty of being denounced by their colleagues, who are encouraged
to do so by decree (2)... These are choices that are in accordance with
the fundamental rules of the mafia: "If you want my protection, give me
this" and "You are useless, get out of my horizon and don't set foot
here again".

The White House website, under the heading "Executive Actions", details
the "Presidential Actions" and only those, which shows without the
slightest ambiguity that the President now holds the totality, the
entirety, of the executive power. Trump, like a godfather, is the only
one to lead.

If we consider that he also has control over the judiciary through the
Supreme Court, and that he is trying to short-circuit Congress by
subjecting it to the surveillance of Elon Musk's "DOGE", the department
responsible for government efficiency, we must come to this conclusion:
Trump is not so much the President of the United States of America as
the godfather of a global mafia, essentially made up of billionaire
industrialists, most of whom are invested in the digital world, in the
arms and space industries, as well as in the extractivism of raw materials.

The slogan "Make America Great Again", or the "America is back" that
opens the White House website are only intended to move the average
nationalist, the average American fascinated by the power of his
country. But the modern nationalist, supremacist, worshiper of violence
and force, weapons and the destruction of minorities, is not mistaken:
he too hopes to be part of this mafia, to play the role of a petty thug.
He hopes, like the "heroes" of the attack on the Capitol on January 6,
2021, to be absolved when he shoots a "hostile" Black or Chicano or
prostitute.

Finally, let us recall that Jean Jaurès' assassin, Raoul Villain, was
pardoned in 1919, and that Jaurès' widow was ordered to pay the legal costs.

As such, Trumpism was not born yesterday and can feed on "models"
throughout history, not just that of the United States.
