A lie is a lie is a lie

“Die Fahnen hoch, die Reihen fest geschlossen…”

The American presidential election campaign is good for many a surprise and provides endless satirical material that writers of the future will draw on for decades to come. A striking example:

In Springfield, Ohio, a cat went missing and turned up a few days later. End of story* End of story? No way! JD Vance used an unproven allegation by a neighbour of the cat’s owner to construct a story about pet-eating Haitians.

Trump spread this blunt lie during his tv debate with Kamala Harris. Trump spread this blunt lie during his televised debate with Kamala Harris. But that’s not the end of the story for the people who live in Springfield. Haitians, fleeing very great hardship in Haiti and blameless, were threatened and two schools had to temporarily close after JD Vance and Trump’s lie.

But this is not the end of the story for people who live in Springfield. Haitians were threatened and two schools had to be closed in the aftermath of JD Vance’ and Trump’s lie. A group of Proud Boys came to Springfield and tried to exert their power on the streets. Not much different than what the SA did in Nazi Germany: they occupied the streets and threatened anyone they considered enemies by their presence alone.

Americans, think twice before voting for these Trump and Vance characters …

“numbers” (Nobel laureates) and “numbers” (Trump’s word salad)

List of American Nobel laureates since the year 2000 (kind of real numbers):

Chemistry: 34
Economics: 43
Peace: 4
Physics: 33
Physiology or Medicine: 32
Literature: 2

Compare these real “numbers” with the crap Donald Trump says on a simple question about “child care” and the “specific piece of legislation [to] advance”.

It’s part of the “the Emperors New Clothes” game that the audience dares to clap for this incoherent stuff. America, you can do much better and renounce on voting for such an incompetent and dangerous person!

The weirdo #2 — New Jersey 13 / 5 / 2024 Hannibal Lector

It’s the usual Trump style: Donald starts with the topic ‘migrant flood’, rows his arms back and forth a lot and ends up with… surprise … the character Hannibal Lector. This is what happened on 13. May 24 in New Jersey.

The sentence that interested me and others:

The late great Hannibal Lector. He’s a wonderful man. He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner.

For people who don’t know what to do with this novel The Silence of the Lambs, which was made into a film with Anthony Hopkins and the main character Hannibal Lector by novelist Thomas Harris: It’s about an extremely educated cannibal who cruelly kills several people in order to then eat them. What is supposed to connect the two topics of immigration and Hannibal Lector? Of course there is NOTHING. The attempted joke “He oftentimes would have people for dinner.” turns the subjects, guests, into objects, meat. This reversal figure is nothing new in our days. It’s quite typical for the humiliating style of Donald Trump.

It reassures me a little that most of the commentators on the film snippet think Trump is just as nuts as I do:

“The Late Great Hannibal Lecter” Trump’s Mind is Literally Melting
and Untethered from Reality. • Does anyone know the context • Diarrhea of the mouth. • Getting more bizarre as his mental decline gets worse.

Let’s see what else the great Donald produces in the coming weeks and months. If we hadn’t learnt that enough Americans seem to approve of such nonsense, we could only laugh our heads off…
