A few days ago, the influential American newspaper The Wall Street Journal published an interesting column by its former editor-in-chief Gerard Baker, “The Strategy and Pitfalls of Trump’s New World Order.” In full accordance with the joke about how to teach geography to lazy schoolchildren (“stun — intrigue — explain”), Baker begins with a backhand […]

The current US president called Trump supporters “garbage”. Ahead of Kamala Harris’s final campaign speech, Joe Biden gave her a huge, cheerfully grunting pig.

Donald Trump’s appearance in the McDonald’s window and his arrival at the stadium where the Pittsburgh Steelers were playing the New York Jets were two of the coolest PR moves by the former and future US president.

The Israeli factor in American politics is becoming one of the most important — along with abortion and the economy — for the November elections.
