Non pas pour des inexactitudes que contiendraient ces Trump Tapes, mais parce qu’il estime être aussi le propriétaire de ces bandes et veut profiter lui aussi des revenus. Les sondages confirment une grande stabilité de sa base, peu importe ce qu’il dit et le caractère incendiaire de ses propos. « L’électorat qui le suit ne devrait pas être troublé par ces enregistrements, dit le politicologue Marc Selverstone de la University of Virginia. Face à ces alertes, il n’a jamais développé de plan, allant même jusqu’à affirmer à Woodward qu’il ne voulait pas le faire à l’époque, car « personne ne s’en serait souvenu lors de l’élection » présidentielle qui arrivait neuf mois plus tard. Et « pour quelle raison avez-vous insisté pour le rencontrer », demande le journaliste ? « Il a parlé de son bouton sur son bureau [pour déclencher une attaque nucléaire]. À l’époque, il y avait beaucoup moins de preuves solides sur l’implication de Nixon dans le Watergate jusqu’à ce que les bandes soient découvertes et rendues publiques. « La valeur documentaire de ces enregistrements est sans doute inférieure à ceux de la Maison-Blanche [sous Nixon], commente en entrevue au Devoir le juriste Joshua Dressler, professeur émérite de droit à l’Ohio State University et spécialiste du Watergate. Le titre fait référence aux « White House Tapes », enregistrement de conversations au sein du bureau ovale qui ont contribué à la chute de Nixon. Les faits démontrent maintenant qu’[il] a mené, et continue de mener, un complot séditieux pour faire annuler les élections de 2020, qui est en fait un effort pour détruire la démocratie. Il a été responsable de son propre destin », rétorque le journaliste. À quelques jours des élections de mi-mandat aux États-Unis, sur lesquelles l’ex-président déchu impose toujours sa marque, le journaliste d’enquête a décidé de s’inviter la semaine dernière dans la campagne en diffusant The Trump Tapes.

In a prosecution breakthrough, the jury in the tax-fraud trial of Donald Trump's business empire has seen the first evidence bearing his signatures.

He has adopted a distinctly Trumpian approach to his plight – slamming the investigations as a “witch hunt” and an “attempted coup” and, like the former US president, has raised doubts about the legitimacy of the judiciary. He made the announcement after Sunak said he wouldn’t attend owing to the demands of salvaging the British economy, though there have been reports in recent days that he might change his mind. Conservative MPs opted instead for former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, who has only been in power for a week but is already finding out what many observers believe to be the case – that the Conservative Party is ungovernable. Even if Trump doesn’t run in 2024, the power of his movement is so strong in the GOP that a possible future Republican president would likely share his populist, nationalist, “America First” instincts. There had been fears that Bolsonaro would emulate his US alter ego and fellow Covid-19 mask rejectionist by refusing to accept the result of an election that tipped him out of power after only a single term. Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva aren’t the only blasts from the past who’ve tried to pave a way back to power. Still, the comeback trail is not always kind to populist leaders who have fallen from power. Lula da Silva, a former two-term president of Brazil, has, like Trump, had his run-ins with legal authorities. And on Sunday in Brazil, Lula da Silva, who’s known as “Lula,” narrowly defeated President Jair Bolsonaro in a runoff election. Trump has left no doubt that he’s itching to mount another presidential campaign – not just because he misses the spotlight. Past scandals, their own legal nightmares and treacherous politics aren’t stopping them from recreating that dream of a past glory. Trump would love to plow a similar furrow.

Critics have dismissed him as a showman and called his ideas 'preposterous.' ​Arthur Laffer, the champion of trickle-down economics, ​says he doesn't care.

“I’m now a pariah because of that,” he said. A Japanese journalist wanted to discuss the upcoming midterm elections and the looming possibility of a recession. Haldeman was “a bastard.” But the various investigations of alleged wrongdoing by Trump and his associates have not dimmed Laffer’s assessment of the 45th president. “And I don’t really find it interesting enough for me to want to delve into it.” A photo of Trump, his arm around Laffer during the Oval Office ceremony, hangs on the economist’s wall. He also blurbed his “dear friend” Al Gore’s 2013 book, “The Future,” writing that it is “amazingly rich in wisdom, practicality, and insight.” Nixon was a “crook” and that Nixon’s chief of staff H.R. It shows the lack of seriousness that underlies all of Arthur’s analyses.” He was sitting in his “Laffer Center” headquarters near Music Row, a two-story building that feels, at least in his part of the office, frozen in a pre-internet age. Laffer is a tireless talker and raconteur who, in the course of an interview, can drop enough famous names to fill a social register. Over here is a letter from Ted Kennedy confiding that his advisers were afraid Laffer “would convert me to supply-side economics and a balanced budget amendment.” Over there is a handwritten holiday card from Dan Quayle in which beacon is misspelled as b-e-a-k-o-n. The upheaval “shows the political response to the ideas but doesn’t have any reflection on the economics at all.”

Just days removed from the assault on Paul Pelosi, Donald Trump is throwing in his lot with the conspiracy caucus on what actually happened in the attack.

He knows they want to believe the absolute worst about Paul and Nancy Pelosi and so he is giving them what they want. All of this, unfortunately, is par for the course for the former president and the movement that he leads. And that the 2020 election was stolen from him. They want to keep you in the dark, but you are too smart for that, so you see through the stories they are telling you. It’s unclear to me whether Trump actually believes anything he is saying about the Pelosi attack. And that the Iowa caucuses had been stolen from him. As is usual with him, he threw just enough qualifiers and vague language in to give himself plausible deniability. But the window was broken in and it was strange the cops were standing there practically from the moment it all took place.” “It’s weird things going on in that household in the last couple of weeks,” Trump said.
