Die USA: Politik, Gesellschaft, Kultur...

Schöne Konversation und nen gutes Beispiel, dass der Journalismus in den USA einfach kaputt ist. Das betrifft alle Seiten.

 
Kritisiert Trump hier sich selbst?



Nach einer kurzen Google Suche lässt sich eine Liste der Angestellten finden die vor Trump für oder mit Fox News gearbeitet haben.

Current Trump administration officials who used to work at Fox

Elaine Chao, secretary of transportation. After a career in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors capped by serving as labor secretary in President George W. Bush’s Cabinet, Chao became a Fox News contributor. She left the network in 2012 and took a seat on the board of directors of News Corp., at the time Fox’s parent company. In 2016, she stepped down from the board after Trump nominated her as secretary of transportation. Chao is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY); former Fox News contributor Erick Erickson has alleged that he was taken off the air because of his criticism of McConnell at Chao’s behest.

John Bolton, national security adviser. Long recognized as one of the most hawkish members of the foreign policy community, Bolton served in the Bush State Department and as ambassador to the United Nations. He joined Fox as a contributor in 2006 and became the network’s go-to voice for national security stories for the next decade, using the platform to push for military options in North Korea and Iran. Those appearances caught the attention of Trump, who said during a 2015 interview, “I watch the shows” for military advice, and that he liked Bolton because “he’s a tough cookie, knows what he’s talking about.” In March 2018, Trump named Bolton as his national security adviser.

Mercedes Schlapp, White House director of strategic communications. Before joining the White House in September 2017, Schlapp was a Republican political consultant and a Fox News contributor.

Scott Brown, ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa. Glowing Fox News coverage helped power Brown to victory in his 2010 run for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. After losing his reelection bid two years later, he joined the network as a contributor, using it as a platform to burnish his profile over the next year while exploring a run for Senate in New Hampshire. He left the network, lost that 2014 race despite the network’s efforts to promote him, and was rehired two weeks later. After Brown endorsedTrump in February 2016, Fox hosts began promoting him for the vice president slot. In August 2016, former Fox host Andrea Tantaros named him in the sexual harassment lawsuit she filed against Fox and several network executives. Trump nonetheless nominated Brown to be ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa in April 2017, and he was confirmed that June. He subsequently faced a State Department inquiry after making inappropriate comments to a female server at an official event.
Georgette Mosbacher, ambassador to Poland. Mosbacher, a Republican businesswoman and donor, longtime Trump friend, and a Fox News contributor, was nominated to be ambassador to Poland in February 2018 and confirmed by the Senate that July.

Richard Grenell, ambassador to Germany. Grenell, a Republican communications professional who spent seven years as spokesperson for the U.S. delegation to the U.N., joined Fox News as a contributor in 2009 and was still in the network’s employ when he was nominated to be ambassador to Germany in September 2017. He was confirmed in April 2018 “despite objections from Democrats that his past epithets about prominent female politicians made him unfit for the job.”

Tony Sayegh, Treasury Department assistant secretary for public affairs. Sayegh, a former Republican communications consultant and Fox contributor, has served as the top spokesperson for the Treasury Department since April 2017.

Morgan Ortagus, State Department spokesperson. After working in the Bush and Obama administrations, Ortagus became a Fox contributor, then was named State Department spokesperson in April.

Lea Gabrielle, State Department special envoy. In February, the State Department named Gabrielle, a former Fox News reporter, as special envoy and coordinator of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, an agency that counters foreign propaganda and disinformation.

Hier nochmal ein Beispiel für Trump ökonomische Inkompetenz, die ich ihm hier im Thread bereits vor seiner Präsidentschaft attestiert hatte.

Am 29 Sep 2011, mitten in der globalen Rezension, tweetet er folgendes:

The Fed's reckless policies of low interest and flooding the market with dollars needs to be stopped or we will face record inflation.


aber gestern beschwert er sich über die hohen Zinsraten der FED.
This is because the Euro and other currencies are devalued against the dollar, putting the U.S. at a big disadvantage. The Fed Interest rate way to high, added to ridiculous quantitative tightening! They don’t have a clue!


Zusammengefasst: Während der Rezension will Trump die Zinsraten erhöhen, aber wenn die "greatest Economoy of all Time", unter der weisen Führung des stable Genius Trump, floriert will er sie verringern. Geht es ihm hier um die Rückzahlungen seiner Schulden bei der DB oder will er die USA nach dem Vorbild Zimbabwe ruinieren great again machen?
 
Ein echter Friedensengel dieser Donald.
Sogar mit den Drohnenmorden hat er aufgehört. Also aufgehört darüber zu reden meine ich natürlich.
 


Ganz im Ernst: jeder, der das noch irgendwie rechtfertigt, soll sich bitte F****n
 
Liegt wohl unter anderen daran, dass der Kongress (GOP und Dems) zusätzliches Geld blockieren.
 
Tja und weil beides für beide ausser Frage steht, da es für beide nichts anderes bedeutet als eine Niederlage in einem Machtkampf. Der klügere gibt nach, so heißt doch das Sprichwort. Und damit könnten die Dems die moralische Hoheit erwirken. Tun sie aber nicht. ,,Warum nur?'', ist die Frage.
 
nee, die frage ist, warum eine regierung das anordnet und warum die befehlskette bis zum schließer vor ort da mitmacht.
 
Das nennt man Demokratie. Alles andere wäre politisch Motivierte Arbeitsverweigerung und dann könnte man auch die Wahlen abschaffen zugunsten der Demokraten natürlich.

Pfffft die Judenverfolgung im 3. Reich war auch legal, geh mal beiseite mit dieser Obrigkeitshörigkeit.

Das das trotzdem nicht richtig sein kann, sollte jedem klar sein. Aber in diesem Fall ist die Obrigkeit das Volk (demos=Volk) und das Volk ist nicht ans Grundgesetz gebunden. Aber die Regierung...das ist der Trick wie wir den Drachen unter Kontrolle gebracht haben, if you know'im sayin?
