The people of Aberseer at Lake Wolfgang have been fighting for the preservation of their place name for two years. At least a partial solution has now been found.

In the current debt dispute with the government of his successor Biden, Trump suggested that the Republicans accept a default. “I say to Republican lawmakers and senators: If they don’t give you big spending cuts, you’ll have to default.” But such a scenario is unlikely because Biden’s Democrats would ultimately give in.

Convicted: Consequences for Trump’s re-election

In the CNN interview, Trump also commented on his conviction for millions in damages for sexual abuse and defamation. “This is a fake story, a fabricated story,” Trump said of journalist and author E. Jean Carroll’s rape allegations.

Carroll is a “crazy”. The verdict might give his re-candidate a boost and at the same time heat up the mood in the party and in the population.
