🚨Un eroico giornalista danese prende la parola e dice a Mark Rutte:

«Lei siede accanto a Donald Trump quando parla di conquistare la Groenlandia o svilisce alleati come la Spagna: cose che non sembrano in linea con il Mark Rutte di un tempo. Questo influisce in qualche modo sul rispetto che ha per sé stesso, quando resta seduto lì senza dire nulla?»

Jamie Bell gave one of my favorite performances of the year in Half Man, so him not making the Lead Actor lineup is genuinely one of the biggest surprises to me. I really thought that was undeniable.

Richard Nixon on what makes a great president:

Reflecting on political leadership years after leaving office, Richard Nixon drew a distinction between being a gifted politician and being an effective president.

He began by comparing the Kennedy brothers.

"Edward Kennedy was the best politician of the three; he is gregarious, loves it, and is warm."

John F. Kennedy, by contrast, was "actually quite a shy and private person, though he performed the public duties of a politician very well."

As for Robert Kennedy, Nixon likened him to "a 17th-century Jesuit priest: passionate, intelligent, and someone who broke no opposition."

Nixon then named the three greatest political operators of the twentieth century: Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson. In his view, "no other presidents were in their league as political operators."

But political skill alone wasn't what he valued most in a president.

"I don't want a president who is warm on both the outside and inside; I want one who is warm on the outside but cold and tough when making difficult decisions without fear of failure."

He also reflected on the role of those who serve a president, recalling a conversation with General Walter Bedell "Beetle" Smith, whom Nixon regarded as one of World War II's greatest chiefs of staff.

Smith once told Nixon, with tears in his eyes, that he had been nothing more than "Ike's Pratt boy," referring to his years serving under Dwight Eisenhower. Nixon said he viewed his own role the same way.

"This did not bother me because it was my job. A vice president or cabinet member should consider themselves dispensable and do what the president wants to carry out policy. Otherwise, the president would have to 'get down there in the ring' himself."

For Nixon, that willingness to subordinate personal ambition to the office was essential.

"While what happened to me personally might not matter to the country, what happened to the president could be disastrous."
