Trump et al: A pure sample of neoliberal barbarism

Vangelis Meimarakis is the new leader of the Right-wing party New Democracy in Greece. Before Alexis Tsipras resign to declare snap elections, Meimarakis called him "little liar" in an arrogant style. Imagine what would happen if Tsipras would use such a language against any Greek prime minister. The mainstream media would have simply crucify him. It's not appropriate for the Leftist Tsipras to speak in such manner. However, the "tough guy" neoliberal Meimarakis has all the right to do it. It's justifiable. The mainstream media rushed to excuse his unacceptable behaviour and language through the shallow, if not stupid, argument "that's his character".

On the other side of the Atlantic, the eccentric billionaire, Donald Trump, is attacking on everyone, even on his internal Republican opponents, with words like "losers". Through an even more cynical manner, he attacks on the Mexican immigrants, saying that they are drug dealers and rapists. The "made in USA" hypocrisy is skyrocketing, as the businesses of CIA with the drug cartels all over Latin America is well known, as well as, the extreme exploitation of the immigrants by the US big capital, to which Trump belongs.
