US-Iran 'deal' details are murky but a Trump trend is clear
By John Lyons

The ceasefire agreement fits a pattern from Donald Trump where the signing of a deal appears to be the major goal and the details often seem a distant secondary consideration.

Laura Poitras – „All die Schönheit und das Blutvergießen“ (2022)

Ein Dokumentarfilm, der einmal nicht mit einem Skandal beginnt, sondern mit Nähe. Intimität einmal nicht als Pose, sondern als Überlebensstrategie. Dass Laura Poitras daraus einen politischen Film macht, ist keine Überraschung. Eher eine Konsequenz ihres gesamten Werks. Sie untersucht Macht als etwas, das sich in Menschen einschreibt. Hier porträtiert sie Nan Goldin, deren Werk und Leben untrennbar mit Intimität, Schmerz, Widerstand und Erinnerung verbunden ist. (ARTE, Neu!)

#JohnLyons asked, "Is it appropriate, President Trump, that a president in office should be engaged in so much business activity?"
#Trump: "Well, I really not. My kids are running the business....where are you from?"
Lyons says he is from #ABC & Trump says, "...You're hurting Australia right...in my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now. And they want to get along with me. Your leader is coming over to see me very soon. I'm going to tell them about you, you set a very bad tone."

#Australia's #ABC cut from #Trump press conference

On Tuesday, a testy exchange between Australian broadcaster #ABCAmericas editor #JohnLyons & Trump at the White House went viral.

An ABC spox said on Thursday it learned it will no longer have a spot at the Trump-Starmer #press conference later.

The broadcaster said it was told the change of plans was due to *logistical* reasons.

Following the disgraceful display today at the White House where Australian #ABC journalist John Lyons was threatened and bullied by President #Trump – who as always showed here that he has a glass double-chin as enormous as Mt Rushmore – I felt that I needed a way to respond on behalf of the country and thought to concoct a meme of such wit and effortless grace that it would put the tangerine toad back under his lily-white lily-pad.

But then I remembered that one of my country men or women had already made such a thing and I present it here for your edification.
