He literally called the tribunal a cartel. He looked into the lens and told the world that the only real law is the law of the jungle &#8211; and he\u2019s holding the biggest stick. <\/p>\n<p>His act is the political equivalent of a pyromaniac calling the fire department &#8220;a bunch of arsonists&#8221;. Or it&#8217;s like a porn-star machoman accusing a virgin girl of inpurity : ) I heard him and as if I couldn&#8217;t believe my own ears, I could&#8217;t believe where we&#8217;ve come &#8211; a president of the most &#8220;democratical&#8221; nation (kind of) speaks like a monkey-businessmen about something he has no honor to mention&#8230; at all. <\/p>\n<p>It is a brutal analogy, I know, but sorry&#8230; it feels so accurate &#8220;a porn-star macho man accusing a virgin girl of impurity&#8221;, that&#8217;s the exact flavor of the absurdity. The sheer, mind-bending hypocrisy of it is what makes our head spin, it&#8217;s the ultimate &#8220;algorithm of truth&#8221; breaking down in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>A president of a nation that constantly lectures the world about the &#8220;rules-based international order&#8221; is calling the International Criminal Court (or similar tribunals) a bunch of &#8220;criminals.&#8221; He&#8217;s essentially standing in the middle of the political &#8220;Vegas casino&#8221;, surrounded by his own rigged slot machines, and pointing at the auditors, yelling, &#8220;These guys are cheating!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When a leader calls a tribunal of human rights lawyers and war-crime investigators &#8220;criminals&#8221; he is doing something far more dangerous than just insulting them. He is saying to his followers &#8220;There is no objective truth. There is no international law. There is only my power and my narrative.&#8221; He&#8217;s the high roller who owns the &#8220;Vegas casino&#8221;, and he&#8217;s telling the world that the house rules no longer apply to him.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the &#8220;monkey-businessman&#8221; energy, it&#8217;s not a shameless diplomacy (not even close), it&#8217;s a hostile takeover of language itself. And I used the analogy of the &#8220;porn-star machoman&#8230;&#8221; because it exposes the power dynamic. Because it&#8217;s not about morality, it&#8217;s not about justice. It&#8217;s about projection and domination. He is projecting his own lawlessness onto the very institutions designed to hold lawbreakers accountable.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that he has no honor to mention such things at all &#8211; and the fact that he says it with a straight face to a global audience &#8211; is the ultimate proof that in his head the truth doesn&#8217;t matter anymore. The only thing that matters is the narrative and the engagement. That&#8217;s why the loudest accusations are always a confession. Calling international judges &#8220;criminals&#8221;&#8230; those are the emperor&#8217;s new excuses.<\/p>\n<p>But the terrifying truth of the 21st century is that it works. The base (his political base, Americans who voted him) loves it. The algorithms of tech barons amplify it &#8211; after all, they bought and installed him, they paid $300 million for him. The outrage fuels the machine. The &#8220;monkey-businessman&#8221; isn&#8217;t just destroying the institutions, he is destroying the very concept of institutional truth. When the most powerful man in the room is the one screaming the loudest about &#8220;criminals&#8221; you know that a &#8220;Vegas casino&#8221; has officially replaced the courthouse.<\/p>\n<p>We hear him, we see him every day, we have screens in our pockets, we&#8217;re not alone in seeing the absurdity. What people are feeling isn&#8217;t just disappointment &#8211; it&#8217;s a kind of profound, vertigo-inducing whiplash. It&#8217;s the feeling of watching the guardrails of reality get ripped out and melted down into engagement metrics. What we ordinary citizens of the free world experience is kind of the complete collapse of political shame. One single &#8220;monkey-businessman&#8221;, brought in power by tech barons (Elon Musk paid for him $300 million, he basically installed a puppet-president for himself) kills our everyday smiles like a black hypocrisy with ruber bullets.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, even the most cynical, corrupt politicians operated within a certain theater of dignity. As if they had some sense of shame. They knew when to shut up, when to resign, when to hide. There were lines they wouldn&#8217;t cross because the public would hold them accountable. Now as if the line doesn&#8217;t exist. The &#8220;monkey-businessman&#8221; doesn&#8217;t just cross the line, he builds a monument on the other side of it and charges admission.<\/p>\n<p>And the tragedy of this reality is that half the world watches this and just shrugs. Or worse, they cheer cause the algorithms reward it. The spectacle is so loud, so aggressive, so mind-numbing, that people either tune in to cheer or tune out entirely.<br \/>\nProbably there are millions of people globally who are watching this exact scene and feeling some sickening twist in their stomach. And it genuinely does feel like we\u2019ve arrived at a place in history that we were never supposed to reach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/arspo_the_clown_macho_star_opt2_cryon_img.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-NZjq5MhN\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/arspo_the_clown_macho_star_opt2_cryon_img.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"993\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/arspo_the_clown_macho_star_opt2_cryon_img.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/arspo_the_clown_macho_star_opt2_cryon_img-600x596.jpg 600w, https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/arspo_the_clown_macho_star_opt2_cryon_img-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/arspo_the_clown_macho_star_opt2_cryon_img-768x763.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/arspo_the_clown_macho_star_opt2_cryon_img-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>(me was thinking &#8220;hard to find images of a clown&#8221;, but in reality 1 search engine alone&#8230; was showing me thousands, in fact they make it very hard for us to choose, finally I thought this &#8220;cryon&#8221; caricature has lovely colors : )<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(s. guraziu &#8211; ars poetica, 30 oct, 2026) (a &#8220;monkey-businessman&#8221; isn&#8217;t just destroying the institutions, he is destroying the very concept of institutional truth) Few days ago as if we watched a shameless &#8220;masterclass&#8221; in projection, a leader of the&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/?p=21469\" class=\"more-link\">Lexo <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-multimedia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21469\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
