Donald Trump gave a speech to his party’s donors at the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans. The former president also shared a bizarre plan with viewers.
New Orleans – Donald Trump spoke to donors about the Ukraine war – and made a suggestion that was as confused as it was unsettling in view of his presidential intentions: American machines with a Chinese flag could be sent to Russia and the country bombed, Trump said. Afterwards you can watch China and Russia fight each other and sit back.
Ukraine War: How Trump Says It
In the past, Trump has often commented on Putin and, in the past few days, on the war in Ukraine. The statements of the former US President are not entirely clear. On the one hand, he condemns Russia’s invasion and those responsible. Putin’s behavior and the consequences are “appalling,” he says in a speech. On the other hand, Trump repeatedly praises Putin: Russia’s president is intelligent and strong. Unlike NATO and the West.
Trump’s image of Russia and US voters: Putin as a strong man
The narrative that Putin is strong and “the West” is soft is rife in right-wing circles in the United States. This narrative is strongly driven by a culture war that is raging in the USA. Issues such as ethnic inequality, racism, sexism and other social justice issues are hotly debated in the American public sphere.
Many right-wingers in the US find Putin’s idea of a civil society more appealing than the world view of their political opponents in their own country. Homosexuality, for example, is taboo in Putin’s Russia. The Federal Agency for Civic Education describes the concept of family in Russia as “pronatal, conservative-patriarchal”. Supporters of pro-Russian stances include Tucker Carlson, one of the country’s best-known conservative journalists, and Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief White House strategist.
USA: Is Trump campaigning with Ukraine?
The fact that Trump always has good things to say about Putin could well be due to the fact that he wants to serve a Putin-friendly group of voters. The important midterm elections will take place this year. Two years after the election, new congressmen and the House of Representatives are elected again. Furthermore, there is always a comeback from the ex-president in the next election. (lp)
