Trump with out restraints: «The EU is destroying itself». The Dems? «Like the Gestapo» | EUROtoday

A whirlwind of utterances, on essentially the most different subjects: from the potential of going to heaven – “I really think I should probably make it” – to the checklist of resolved wars (that of Sudan: “We are very close to resolving it. It would be the ninth”), passing from the accusation of getting put the Department of Justice on the service of his causes, political and in any other case: “It’s not true, but wouldn’t I have the right? Because “no president has ever been handled the best way I’ve been handled”. The topics touched on by the US president Donald Trump in his speech at National Prayers Breakfast they are like fireworks, with tones that are a mixture of self-aggrandizement and distortion of reality.

Bukele’s praise: “His harsh but humane prisons”

Thus, the president praises the Salvadoran Nayib Bukele, one of the guests at the National Prayer Breakfast, calling him “one among my favourite individuals” and a “nice ally” of the United States. “Some of you have seen that he runs very large prisons, they do very humane work, but they are very harsh prisons,” the president underlines again, referring in particular to the Cecot super prison built by the far-right president for the detention of tens of thousands of people in a situation of serious and systematic violations of human rights and the rule of law, according to complaints by Amnesty and other human rights organizations. Trump then refers to the controversial deportation of hundreds of immigrants, particularly Venezuelans, to this infamous prison, shown by the videos that last March shocked the world of chained prisoners, forced to bend over, shaved and forcefully pushed by masked-faced officers into mega chicken coop cells. “We have presented many of the people we have captured, the murderers, the drug traffickers, the people who entered our country illegally and have already committed great crimes,” Trump comments.

The attack on the republican Massie, “one thing is fallacious with him”

In another passage, Trump calls Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who sometimes votes against the party, an “fool.” In his speech, Trump addresses, among other things, the topic of legislation and explains that Republicans generally come together after some gimmick – everyone, he said, except Massie. “We’ll get 100% of the votes besides this man named Thomas Massie. There’s one thing fallacious with him.” Massie, a libertarian-leaning congressman, drew the president’s ire for saying he had no authority to attack Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval, for voting against Trump’s massive tax and spending cuts bill, and for fighting for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein dossiers.

“Dem call me a dictator, but they call me the Gestapo”

The Democrats “all the time say: ‘Trump is a dictator’. I’m not a dictator, they had been one. They had been just like the Gestapo”, Trump attacks again during the speech, recalling that the Democrats “arrested individuals for going to church, they arrested individuals and handled them horribly. I needed to repair it”. Another controversial target of the president is the European Union: “Europe is destroying itself and they might do effectively to get up.” Trump reiterates that the EU has a big problem related to immigration and energy. Recalling his speech in Davos, a meeting that the president defines as “silly”, Trump clarifies: “I inform it like it’s, they’re destroying their nation. I wish to see them get again on their toes very quickly, however it is going to be unimaginable for them.”
