They have the advantage of stupidity. Truth is complex and mostly requires longer sentences to convey all nunces, while lies are simple and can be conveyed by just a couple of words.

Don’t be ridiculous. Musk is part of the oligarchs controlling Trump.

Almost as if some rich foreign power has spent decades and billions of rubles to fertilise the ground for them.

Don’t underestimate the lots and lots of Russia money involved.

Unsure who you are referring to.

You are a presidential term too late. In this term he doesn’t have to distract anybody, because he knows he can do whatever he wants without any repercussions. He doesn’t do distractions anymore.

The “Fanta we know today” varies a lot from country to country.

Yeah, that should have been the headline.

Every time a court rules against the Trump administration it becomes a “is this the one where he enacts his coup?”-moment. Probably isn’t there yet, he needs to install a few more crucial stooges in various posts, but he is definitely getting there. Making his oligarch backers profit billions from his tariff scheme certainly was a good way for him to secure their backing for whatever he has planned.

Definitely affectation. I suspect the strong German accent is as well. His vocabulary is too good for it.

He has been insane his entire life. He just is at a point now where it gets to unfold much more freely than it ever has, because he has been crowned de facto king of everything.

Trump is chaotic and unpredictable. His actions are mainly decided by personal greed and petty whims and grievances prone to change from one day to the other. But there is one constant in his behaviour since at least 2016, and that is his allegiance to Putin. He has never once convincingly criticised him, and everything he has done which involved Russian interests has always been in favour of Russia.

You haven’t got a single clue about what you are talking about.

It was about incels spouting misogyny and all other imaginable forms of bigotry. It served as yet another fascism pipeline for a lot of kids.

Very much depending on the topic. For specialised niche subjects, which are usually the ones students choose for final papers, literature can be very scarce, and 1994 would be fairly recent. For my specialised field the main study (which is still being cited frequently) is from 1870.

That is definitely what will happen if they surrender though.
