\u00d6ncelikle adaylardan, Ticaret, \u0130\u00e7i\u015fleri, Maliye, Ulusal E\u011fitim bakanlar\u0131n\u0131n, yan\u0131 s\u0131ra NASA’n\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131na atanacak ki\u015fi ile ba\u015fkan\u0131n Ortado\u011fu temsilcisinin milyarder olduklar\u0131 kaydediliyor (Bu arada hat\u0131rlatay\u0131m, se\u00e7im kampanyas\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda verdi\u011fi bir m\u00fclakatta Biden, “Amerika ekonomik sorunlar\u0131n\u0131 nas\u0131l a\u015fabilir” \u015feklindeki bir soruya, ” \u00fclkede en az bin milyarder var, bunlar\u0131n \u00f6dedikleri verginin toplam toplanan vergi i\u00e7indeki pay\u0131 y\u00fczde 8,2’dir” , dedikten sonra “oysa, her biri bunun bir ka\u00e7 kat \u00fczerinde katk\u0131da bulunsa, Amerika’n\u0131n b\u00fct\u00fcn bor\u00e7lar\u0131 \u00f6denir” demi\u015fti).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u015eimdi, Trump’\u0131n Ticaret bakanl\u0131\u011f\u0131na aday g\u00f6sterdi\u011fi ki\u015fi, sadece her t\u00fcrl\u00fc sosyal harcamaya de\u011fil, sermayeden al\u0131nan gelir vergisine de kar\u015f\u0131 oldu\u011funu bir \u00e7ok kez a\u00e7\u0131klam\u0131\u015f birisi. Yan\u0131 s\u0131ra, y\u00fcksek g\u00fcmr\u00fck vergilerinden yana. Trump’la birlikte, federal b\u00fct\u00e7ede (bu b\u00fct\u00e7e \u00fczellikle \u00fclke genelinde eyaletleraras\u0131 ekonomik dengesizlikleri gidermek bak\u0131m\u0131ndan \u00f6nemli) 2 trilyon dolarl\u0131k kesinti yapacaklar\u0131n\u0131 ilan etmi\u015flerdi. Bunun ilk sonucu da, federal memurlar\u0131n\u0131n belki de \u00e7o\u011funun i\u015fini kaybetmesi olacak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weinberg, Trump’\u0131n birlikte \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmak istedi\u011fi ki\u015filerin ilgin\u00e7 \u00f6zelliklere sahip olduklar\u0131n\u0131 yaz\u0131yor. \u00d6rnekse, Trump’\u0131n savunma bakan\u0131 aday\u0131n\u0131n, v\u00fccudunda Kud\u00fcs Ha\u00e7\u0131 d\u00f6vmesi ta\u015f\u0131yan, Ha\u00e7l\u0131l\u0131k hayran\u0131, sosyal medya sayfas\u0131nda ABD bayra\u011f\u0131 yan\u0131nda AR-15 sald\u0131r\u0131 t\u00fcfe\u011fiyle poz vermi\u015f oldu\u011fu foto\u011fraflar\u0131 yer al\u0131yormu\u015f. Bu ayn\u0131 bakan aday\u0131n\u0131n\u0131n, daha \u00f6nce de, Amerika’y\u0131 ancak bir kutsal medeniyetler sava\u015f\u0131n\u0131n kurtarabilece\u011fi yolundaki beyanlar\u0131n\u0131 okumu\u015ftuk. Bu savunma bakan\u0131 olmas\u0131 beklenen ki\u015finin, kampanya s\u0131ras\u0131nda, “\u00fclke i\u00e7indeki solun, marksistlerin (bilindi\u011fi gibi, bu yeni-muhafazak\u00e2rlar i\u00e7in Demokratlar da marksisttir) i\u015flerini kesin olarak bitirmek gerekir” demi\u015fti. \u00d6te yandan, o da Trump gibi, NATO’ya ve BM’ye kar\u015f\u0131d\u0131r. Bu iki kurulu\u015fun ABD’yi engelledi\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weinberg’den devam edelim. \u0130\u00e7i\u015fleri bakanl\u0131\u011f\u0131na aday g\u00f6sterilmi\u015f ki\u015fi, av merakl\u0131s\u0131ym\u0131\u015f. Bir av s\u0131ras\u0131nda, av k\u00f6pe\u011fini g\u00f6revini lay\u0131k\u0131yla yerine getirmedi\u011fi i\u00e7in \u00f6ld\u00fcrerek cezaland\u0131rm\u0131\u015f. Evinde besledi\u011fi ke\u00e7isini de art\u0131k “ya\u015flan\u0131p, \u00e7irkinle\u015fti\u011fi” i\u00e7in \u00f6ld\u00fcrm\u00fc\u015f. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sa\u011fl\u0131k bakan\u0131 aday\u0131 da ilgin\u00e7(!) bir tip. Bir keresinde, evinin yak\u0131nlar\u0131ndaki bir plajda karaya vurmu\u015f canl\u0131 bir balinan\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 elektrikli testereyle kestikten sonra arabas\u0131n\u0131n tavan\u0131na asarak evine getirmi\u015f. Bunu yaparken de, bu sahnelere tan\u0131k olanlara \u00f6v\u00fcnerek evindeki dondurucunun bu t\u00fcr “hat\u0131ra objeler” le t\u0131kabasa dolu oldu\u011funu s\u00f6ylemi\u015f. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ayn\u0131 ki\u015fi, “otizme yol a\u00e7t\u0131\u011f\u0131” i\u00e7in her t\u00fcrl\u00fc a\u015f\u0131ya kar\u015f\u0131 oldu\u011funu defalarca dile getirmi\u015f. Weinberg, bu ki\u015finin ve di\u011fer adaylar\u0131n bir \u00e7o\u011funun sosyal medya \u00fczerinden, hi\u00e7 de sa\u011fl\u0131kl\u0131 olmad\u0131klar\u0131 uzmanlarca belirtilen baz\u0131 sa\u011fl\u0131k ve kozmetik \u00fcr\u00fcnlerinin tan\u0131t\u0131m\u0131n\u0131 yapmakta olduklar\u0131n\u0131n alt\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7iziyor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ayr\u0131ca yine bunlar\u0131n \u00e7o\u011fu belli \u00fclke ve \u015firketlerin lobicileri. Ha \u00fcr\u00fcn sat\u0131\u015f\u0131 demi\u015fken, bilindi\u011fi gibi, Trump halen online “hediyelik e\u015fya” sat\u0131\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fcyor. Binlerce dolarl\u0131k imzal\u0131 golf\u00e7u kasketlerinden, imzal\u0131 gitarlardan, y\u00fczbin dolarl\u0131k kol saatlerine kadar geni\u015f bir \u00fcr\u00fcn yelpazesini kapsayan bir kolleksiyonu oldu\u011fu anla\u015f\u0131l\u0131yor.

Kampanya giderlerini kar\u015f\u0131lad\u0131\u011f\u0131 gibi, muhtemelen an itibariyle, k\u00e2ra da ge\u00e7mi\u015ftir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
LRB’deki yaz\u0131dan aktarmay\u0131 s\u00fcrd\u00fcr\u00fcyorum. E\u011fitim bakan\u0131 aday\u0131, b\u00f6yle bir bakanl\u0131\u011fa gerek olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131, “ulusal e\u011fitim” diye bir anlay\u0131\u015f\u0131n yanl\u0131\u015f oldu\u011funa inan\u0131yor. Ayr\u0131ca, kendisi dolayl\u0131 olarak \u00e7ocuk tacizcisi olmakla su\u00e7lan\u0131yor. \u00dcstelik de, ilk kez de\u011fil. Annesi bile onun “iflah olmaz bir ahlaks\u0131z” oldu\u011funu s\u00f6ylemi\u015f. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u0131\u015f i\u015flerine aday g\u00f6sterilen ki\u015finin fa\u015fist, neo-fa\u015fist d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncelerini sergiledi\u011fi bir ka\u00e7 kitab\u0131 oldu\u011fu zaten biliniyor. Yine bilindi\u011fi gibi, bu zat m\u00fcsl\u00fcmanlara, \u00f6zellikle \u0130ranl\u0131lara, bu arada, \u00c7inlilere ve Ruslara kar\u015f\u0131 da nefret hisleriyle dolu oldu\u011funu saklam\u0131yor. Daha \u00f6nce de yazm\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. Ailesi Meksika \u00fczerinden yap\u0131lan kokain ticaretiyle de alakal\u0131. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
