The Leaders of the Free World…? Trump, Putin and Birthday Parties – or: ‘3rd Party Funds’

3rd Party Funds*: For decades it was something scorned in many parts of Europe: It meant to many that you were being financed by companies with an actual, lively interest in your research, for example. You would be easily corrupted. And most probably would even be obliged to do things in return. Well, it’s not new really but one more proof of the corruption of a person like Trump an indeed sorry excuse for a man:

It would be funny: This almost naive craving for attention and acknowledgement. Now the Kennedy Center to be closed he had claimed his name to be added on a plaque… OMG … The education he could have had with his ‘funds’, i.e. money – and missed out on.

Or the wars he started. Supports. Supports Israel’s extreme right hard-liner Netanyahu.

It’s so cruel that one can only wonder, if he really is actually sane in mind – that is, accountable…?

Well, to some extent it would be a relieve, if he wasn’t. Yet, on the other hand to not be able to hold him accountable would be a shame. In court.

It still is part of the story that he started the war with Iran to cover his severe involvement with the Epstein papers. The fact that all through his life, the first and foremost consideration was more money and more power – by hook or by crook. And rather more often by crook.

It’s obvious that he doesn’t intend to negotiate with Iran. He wants his way, and his way only. And that of his followers of course.

I couldn’t be more joyful at the prospect that some time soon, this president will be history too and his time to leave the oval office draws near, because his last term as president ends.


*Note: The term is used differently in parts of the world. The European connotation stems from research and science in universities around here: Funding by interested, outside academia situated companies and organizations.
