99 m. ago What Trump’s ‘palace in the sky’ gift from Qatar reveals | Moira Donegan

This kind of behavior from the Trump administration has gone on for so long that it is hard to rouse the media to cover itIt certainly looks as if policy is for sale in the Trump administration. After all, the president’s primary domestic policy deputy, Elon Musk, gained his position in the administration more or less by purchasing it: he is the richest man in the world, and the primary funder of Trump’s last presidential campaign, and it is seemingly by this virtue – does he have any others? – that Musk has been granted the authority to dismantle large swaths of the federal bureaucracy.This is something of a pattern for Donald Trump.

And it gestures at the terrible pathos of the old GDR, which laboured and sacrificed for 40 years after the war in Soviet vassalage finally to discover it was for nothing. The film’s original German title is In Die Son...
