United States: Donald Trump's failed tribute to judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg

2020-09-24T15:50:53.773Z


The American president collected this Thursday before the coffin of the progressive judge, under the whistles of opponents.


A few weeks before the US presidential election, Donald Trump's tribute to the late progressive Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not take place in the silence hoped for by the president-candidate.

Wearing a black mask, accompanied by his wife Melania, the tenant of the White House collected this Thursday in front of the remains of the feminist icon, figure of the fight for gender equality, who died Friday at the age 87 years old.

An approach all the more singular as the Republican billionaire, who has never donned the clothes of a unifier since coming to power, is unusual in paying tribute to personalities not on his political side.

A meditation under the boos

Not enough to satisfy his political opponents.

Posted in front of the gates positioned in front of the American Supreme Court building, they expressed their anger against the American president.

“Honor his wish!

“, They demanded, among other hoots.

A few days before losing her life, Ruth Bader Ginsburg would indeed have confided in her little daughter Clara Spera on what she hoped for her country.

“My dearest wish is not to be replaced until a new president is sworn in”.

Information questioned since by Donald Trump, during a speech tinged with irony.

"I don't know if she (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) said it," he said, implying that these last wishes looked more like a press release from Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi .

Express replacement

Because the American president has absolutely no intention of respecting this last will.

In two days, he will initiate the process of the succession of “RBG”: he must announce Saturday afternoon, from the White House, the name of the judge he wishes to appoint to this influential post.

Five conservative women, including magistrate Amy Coney Barrett, a darling of religious circles, and a conservative judge of Cuban origin, Barbara Lagoa, were shortlisted.

With 40 days of the election, the Republican senators intend to hurry to confirm the choice of the president.

They hold the majority in the Senate, despite the defection of two elected officials who consider it preferable to wait for the November election.

"I think it will go very, very quickly," the president predicted Thursday morning on Fox Radio.
