(Adnkronos) - Giorgio Rutelli intervista James Carafano (Heritage Foundation) e Paul McCarthy (International Republican Institute) nello studio vodcast dell'Adnkronos. Carafano spiega come Donald Trump sia cambiato rispetto al 2016, presentandosi oggi come un leader esperto e strategico. E critica le élite europee, incapaci di superare l’immagine del “Trump selvaggio e folle” del passato, e sottolinea l’importanza di interpretare la "rhetoric" come provocazione pensata per attirare attenzione, piuttosto che come un piano d’azione letterale.

00:00It's not the Trump of 2016.
00:01I think that's the most important thing for people to realize.
00:04This is a very, very experienced leader.
00:06This is somebody who was president for four years, was in the game all the four years
00:11he was out, was tremendously well prepared on how to take over the presidency, which
00:16is why we've had this absolute tsunami of action on the first day, hiring people, orders,
00:22stop this, end that, all, I think, very predictable.
00:28But on the other hand, it's the same Donald Trump.
00:35I know people get so consumed in the rhetoric.
00:38The answer is, you take the rhetoric seriously, but not always literally.
00:45Many times when Trump says things, which they are intentionally provocative, they are intentionally
00:50out of the box.
00:53A lot of times it's, I want your attention.
00:57It doesn't mean to dismiss it as rhetoric, but it means I'm serious.
01:03It doesn't necessarily literally mean that is what I'm going to do.
01:09I think that's my problem with Europe.
01:13I don't mean Europeans because, in general, I find most Europeans tending more conservative
01:18these days and starting to look more like conservatives in America.
01:22To be honest, among European elites, it's like they have this fixture in their head
01:26of the Trump of 2016 that was wild and crazy and they didn't understand, and they've never
01:31moved on from that.
