Donald Trump and the media: This relationship has often been more than strained for the past four years. The swan song in the international press after Donald Trump was ousted from office is therefore not very sad. Yet many see tough tasks ahead of newly elected President Joe Biden. Press reviews at a glance:
«DE TELEGRAPH» (England)
Historians will likely conclude that Joe Biden won in large part because he was not Donald Trump. (…) Biden has to translate his victory in an anti-Trump referendum into an election for an agenda that really brings people together. “
“THE OBSERVER” (England)
“With so many challenges faced, many might wonder if Biden, soon to turn 78, can stay the course. But far more important than his age is the fact that he is a decent, honest, and experienced statesman. After so much bitterness and hatred, he is the seasoned consensus builder that America and the world need (…) The jubilation is fully justified. “
“THE WORLD” (Frankreich)
“The biggest mistake, however, would be content with a sigh of relief. At the end of four years of a devastating term, a few months of a humiliating campaign, and days or weeks of gruesome politico-legal guerrilla warfare, the Democrat (Joe Biden) will finally step into the rubble left by his predecessor, with the daunting task. of everything or to rebuild almost everything “.
“NEUE ZÜRCHER ZEITUNG” (Switzerland)
“He started out as a reconciler and, despite all his weaknesses, he embodies that feature of the country that has helped him come out of crisis in the past. As a man who recovered after the severe blows of fate (he lost his first wife and two children) and political defeat, he is the counter-model to Trump’s narcissistic victim rhetoric. “
“TAGES-ANZEIGER” (Switzerland)
“More than 70 million Americans voted for Trump this time and therefore explicitly approved of what he has done and said over the past four years. These people will not leave, not even with the anointing calls for unity and harmony. And yet: a second Trump term would have brought the United States into a dark spot. It would have deepened the wounds and created new ones. With Trump’s election, at least the bleeding stopped. “
«DE TELEGRAAF» (Holland)
“At the moment, Donald Trump is on a confrontational course. You still have time for it. The US Constitution stipulates that the new president will not move to the White House until January 20. (…) In view of the unconventional nature of the President, it is also feared that he will not cooperate at all when he leaves. In that case, it would be the job of the Secret Service, which has to protect the president until January 20, to remove him from the White House. “
“THE STANDARD” (Belgium)
“Biden inherits a deeply divided country with fragmented power structures. Democrats occupy the White House and the House of Representatives, Republicans dominate the Senate and, in a way, the Supreme Court. These opposites could lead to a new stalemate. “
“IRISH TIMES” (Ireland)
“It casts a remarkably negative light on a shameful presidency that Donald Trump’s loss of power is mainly lamented by the autocrats of the world.”
«EL PAÍS» (Spanien)
“The victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the presidential elections of the United States, the strongest power in the world, is holding back the advance of national populism. Biden is not a perfect or inspiring candidate. But it does mean that the White House will return to moderation, respect for democratic principles and institutions, and dialogue and multilateralism at the international level. His success is an epochal change for his country and for the West. “
“THE WORLD” (Spanien)
“Joe Biden is the president-elect of the United States. He responded by saying he was honored by the honor the American people have bestowed on me. However, current President Donald Trump refuses to accept the result. (…) But the chances that Trump will win in court what he lost in the elections seem slim. “
“THE NEW YORK TIMES” (USA)
“After looking into the abyss of autocratic nationalism, the American people decided to move away from the brink. It will take a few more days to count the ballots, but the numbers are there: Joe Biden will have the 270 votes needed to enter the White House, and probably many more. President Trump’s four-year attack on our democratic institutions and values will soon be over. “
“THE WASHINGTON POST” (USA)
“President Trump’s incendiary rhetoric in the face of his electoral defeat highlighted the unprecedented threat the country now faces from an angry and distraught head of government who has been in office for 75 days. As well as refusing to admit defeat and poison The weather with false accusations of fraud, Trump could cause immeasurable damage with actions in his final days in office, from firing competent senior officials in the intelligence community and pardoning his criminals. Travelers, and perhaps yourself too. “
“THE WALL STREET JOURNAL” (USA)
“Mr. Trump hates to lose and will certainly fight to the end. But if there is defeat, he will better serve himself and his country by upholding America’s democratic traditions and leaving office with dignity. “
