Hillary Clinton, during the presidential campaign she lost to Trump in 2016, made a mistake by calling her rival’s potential voters ” “a basket of deplorables.” In her arrogance, the former secretary of state and loyal Trump supporters could see, in the background, a montage of the movie poster. Les Miserables, then recently released, where the French flags had been replaced by the stars and stripes and the revolutionary banners by others with Trumpist slogans. When the contestant entered, the most popular song in the movie started playing, Do you hear the people singing? (“Do you hear the people singing, singing the song of angry men?”). Trump turned to the people with this greeting: “Welcome back, deplorables!”. The room collapsed with cheers and applause.
And now asset He did it again. The adjective addressed this time to the Trumpists was something stronger than “deplorables”, it was “trash”, and instead of launching it from the almost forgotten candidate Joe Biden. Let’s recap.
In the United States, election rallies are quite a spectacle. The center is the candidate, but many of the opening acts usually perform with him: aides, actors, singers, comedians… At Trump’s last rally, a comedian performed, Tony Hinchcliffe who made a brutally offensive joke against Puerto Rico. In a room, a comedian is supposed to annoy everyone in a brutal way, that’s the funny thing, but at an election event and a week before the vote, he seemed pretty stupid, even though Jon Stewart himself- even, one of the kings of late at night TV shows, he found it funny.
But Biden destroyed what could have been an advantage for his vice president and was able to strip Biden of the Democratic nomination despite being president and despite being elected by overwhelming majority in the primaries, place an unsupported vice president among the rank and file.
And the excuse is that Biden is senile, that he is not capable of running a campaign. Let’s accept it and draw the conclusion: is he too incapable to be a candidate and not be president? The world is at a particularly dangerous moment, one mistake or one mistake away from nuclear war. and he primus inter pares on the international stage there is undoubtedly the United States. Is this the best time to leave the post of global policeman in the hands of a man suffering from senile dementia, according to his own party colleagues?
