"Trump First". Oto motywy polityki zagranicznej prezydenta USA

20 hours ago | wiadomosci.onet.pl | Edward Luce

W praktyce wdzięczność Trumpa ma ograniczony termin ważności. Zapytajcie Marka Zuckerberga z Meta, którego prezent w wysokości 1 mln dol. (3,79 mln zł) na inaugurację Trumpa i 25 mln dol. (94 mln zł) na ugodę w bezpodstawnym procesie o zniesławienie nie uchroniły jego firmy przed groźbą wysokich kar. Jednak w przypadku Trumpa nigdy nie należy mówić nigdy.

Poslední velcí stratégové: Co by Brzezinski a Kissinger mohli naučit Trumpa

Představte si Muhammada Aliho, jak se připravuje na „rvačku v džungli“ s Georgem Foremanem v Kinshase o titul profesionálního mistra světa v těžké váze. Nebo Björna Borga, jak se připravuje na wimbledonské finále, v němž si to na centrálním dvorci rozdá s Johnem McEnroem. A vůbec nejpříhodnější bude, když si připomenete přípravu šachového velmistra Bobbyho Fischera před jeho „zápasem století“ v Reykjavíku v roce 1972 proti sovětskému soupeři Borisi Spasskému.

“History is bunk”, Henry Ford is alleged to have said. One can easily imagine Donald Trump saying the same thing.
Musk traci grunt pod nogami. "Naprawdę próbują mnie dopaść za wszelką cenę"

5 days ago | wiadomosci.onet.pl | Edward Luce

Zaczęło się od wymachiwania piłą łańcuchową, kończy się płaczem. Zbliżające się odejście Elona Muska z Waszyngtonu przedwcześnie zamyka najdziwniejszy rozdział prezydentury Donalda Trumpa. Według własnych kryteriów Departament Efektywności Rządowej (DOGE) kierowany przez Elona Muska poniósł porażkę. Obiecał znaleźć oszczędności w wysokości 2 bln dol. (ok. 7,6 bln zł). Nie tylko ich tego nie zrobił, co wręcz wygenerował dodatkowe koszty, które będą musieli pokryć podatnicy.
Financial Times: Elon Musk’s painful departure

6 days ago | doggett.house.gov | Edward Luce

What began with a chainsaw is ending in a whimper. Elon Musk’s looming exit from Washington brings the oddest chapter of Donald Trump’s presidency to an early close. By his own metrics, Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has failed. Far from achieving his touted $2tn in savings, Doge may end up costing the taxpayer. Musk has meanwhile brought harm on Tesla, where he will soon return. Was there a hidden method to his madness? Two Musk gains can be spotted in the rubble.

What began with a chainsaw is ending in a whimper. Mr Elon Musk’s looming exit from Washington brings the oddest chapter of US President Donald Trump’s presidency to an early close.

Far from achieving his touted $2 trillion (S$2.58 trillion) in savings, Doge may end up costing the taxpayer. He has meanwhile brought harm on Tesla, where he will soon return.
