¿Principio del fin de la histeria anti-Trump en EEUU?
Van Jones, uno de los más feroces críticos de Donald Trump, reconoce que el discurso del nuevo presidente de los EEUU ante las dos cámaras del Congreso fue 'extraordinario'. Pueden escucharlo en el video y leerlo en esta transcripción literal del Washington Post:
“There are a lot of people who have a lot of reason to be frustrated with him, to be fearful of him. But that was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics, period. And he did something extraordinary. And for people who have been hoping that he would become unifying, hoping that he might find some way to become presidential, they should be happy with that moment. For people who have been hoping that maybe he would remain a divisive cartoon, which he often finds a way to do, they should begin to become a little bit worried tonight, because that thing you just saw him do, if he finds a way to do that over and over again, he's going to be there for eight years. Now, there was a lot that he said in that speech that was counterfactual, that was not right, that I oppose and will oppose. But he did something tonight that you cannot take away from him. He became president of the United States.”
Van Jones es abogado, comentarista de la CNN, activista político, ecologista y adscrito al partido Demócrata. Fue asesor de Obama.
