It was a scene (see video) that will likely burn itself into the nation’s memory. During a new announcement in the Oval Office, a man in the background collapsed. No sound, no cry. Seconds of silence followed - and then the unthinkable happened: Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. turned briefly and fled the room. Without offering help, without a word...
The man lay motionless, the camera light glaring, and the president - visibly irritated - stood there like an extra in his own production. Dr. Mehmet Oz rushed to the man’s aid. Trump glanced briefly to the left, then stared straight ahead, as if searching for someone in the room to tell him what to do. But no one came. Perhaps because the man who was supposed to help had already left.
Kennedy Jr., that same health secretary who usually appears with medical theories and esoteric miracle promises, fled the room as if frightened by reality itself. Or perhaps he went to buy cod liver oil? No sign of responsibility, no attempt to intervene - only flight. In a moment that called for humanity, he chose distance. Trump remained behind, unable to act. No word of concern, no effort to pause the situation. It was as if someone had taken away the script that usually tells him how to pretend compassion. The scene lasted barely a minute, yet it revealed more about this president and his cabinet than any memo, any speech, any lie.
A man lies on the ground, the health secretary flees, the president stands still. No more symbolism is needed to understand the state this country is in. Despite all differences of opinion, we hope the man recovers quickly.

Totales Versagen!
absolut, es war richtig beschämend
Ihr seit mit Abstand mein Lieblingsquelle geworden. Das ist eine super Arbeit und Journalismus mit dem nötigen Respekt. Dazu Top Recherchen und viele Informationen. Danke.
Ganz lieben Dank
+1!
Beschämend und erschreckend. Trump und Co. können nur Inszenierung, mit der Realität sind sie überfordert.
…dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen !
Absolut ekelhaft diese Typen…keine Empathie, nichts!
ja, erschreckend
Menschlicher Offenbarungseid.
…dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen
Ich hoffe, dass es dem Kollabierten in der Zwischenzeit besser geht.
Weiß man schon, wer es war?
Kennedy absolut beschämend. Falls er sich jemals dazu äußern wird, sagt er mit Sicherheit, dass er den Defillibrator holen wollte.
Trump.. unfähig seine aus dem Takt geratene Inszenierung mit Improvisation fortzuführen.
Es sah aus, als ob er auf den Einsatz einer Soufleuse gewartet hat.
War er nicht gerade aus seinem Nickerchen aufgewacht/aufgeschreckt?! Da kann man ja schon mal etwas orientierungslos sein, nicht wahr? (Ironie aus)
