Donald Trump, frustrated, goes on a rampage

He attacked his Democratic opponents, and in very little chosen, even frankly vulgar terms. Donald Trump has increased personal attacks on Thursday at a rally in Minnesota of extraordinary aggression. Facing a crowd of supporters in red caps and T-shirts with the slogan "The police with Trump", the American president, unleashed, let burst his frustration.

In open war with the Democrats on the impeachment process that threatens him, in conflict with the Republicans on the Syrian file, the billionaire real estate is going through a difficult phase. Very upset, he once again denounced a "witch hunt" and predicts that it would fail and lead to his profit, in the presidential election of 2020, "a jump in the ballot box unparalleled in history."

It was the first time he had found his audience since the launch, 15 days ago, of the procedure to remove him. First target, former Vice President Joe Biden, his possible Democratic opponent in the November 2020 presidential election: "A bad senator! He threw out. "He was a good vice president just because he figured out how to be asshole with Barack Obama."

The next target, Hunter Biden, the son of the Democratic candidate, whose activities in Ukraine while his father was vice president are pointed by the Trump team. "A man not very intelligent! ", The president said in the campaign, before ironizing on his discretion:" I have an idea for a new T-shirt: Where is Hunter? ".

Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, also took her for her rank: "either very stupid", "either she loses her head", "or she is dishonest". Curiously, he did not mention Elizabeth Warren, that the latest polls are leading in the race for the Democratic nomination, ahead of Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

The 45th President of the United States then launched a long tirade against Ilhan Omar, elected Democrat of Minnesota in the House of Representatives. "She's a socialist who hates America! He said in front of a raging crowd. "She is a shame for our country! He continued before promising, "She is one of the reasons we will win Minnesota."

Ilhan Omar is one of four minority congressional women elected by the US President to "return" to the countries they come from, even though three of them were born in the United States.

Donald Trump then took the elected officials who lead the investigation for his eventual removal. "We are facing some people who are disturbed, sick people," he accused. "Democrats have embarked on a crusade to destroy our democracy. We will not let them go, "he threatened. After several days of procrastination, he chose the showdown, refusing to co-operate with the Congress.

The president is accused of calling his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, to urge him to look for ways to compromise Joe Biden. "My call with the Ukrainian president was perfect," he said. "He said" there was no blackmail, "he used that word! He added, referring to the recent marathon press conference of the Ukrainian President. "What do they want to do? To dismiss the president! I do not think that will happen, I do not think … ", he said.

Aware that public opinion can influence the future of the process, Donald Trump was stung by a Fox News poll released Wednesday night. According to the survey, 51% of Americans support his dismissal, a nine-point jump from July.

"Since the day I announced my candidacy for the White House, I have NEVER had a good poll Fox News," he ranted Thursday morning. "No matter what survey institute they use, they are tokens," he added, before he regretted that the conservatives' favorite channel was very different from "the good old days". ".

Another source of frustration for the septuagenarian: Syria. He unleashed amazement and anger in the Republican ranks and at the head of the army by deciding brutally, alone, Sunday night, to withdraw the American soldiers stationed in the north-east of Syria, leaving the field free to Turkish military intervention against the Kurds.

From the beginning of this operation, on Wednesday, the Congress is on the front line. One of Trump's closest supporters, Senator Lindsey Graham, accuses him this time of "shamefully abandoning" the Kurds and unveiled, with a Democratic elected, a proposal to severely punish Ankara if the Turkish army and its suppletives did not withdraw from Syria.
