Presidents of the United States

The 25th amendment allows the vice president of the United States, with the support of the chief ministers, to declare the head of state incapable of performing his duties.

The president who promised to "make America great again" is the one who made it smaller than any other president in modern times.

"No need to be shocked. Trump is a very disturbed guy," 1988 Democratic nominee for US president Mike Dukakis tells Kathimerini in a brief interview. "And what happened last Wednesday may just be what we need to get him out of the nation's politics permanently. In the meantime, the Democrats will now control Congress as well as the White House, and that should be good news for all of us."

Ever since hsi election in 2016 Donald Trump showed signs of an undemocratic stance and behaviour.

A host of actions and choices of the US president showed that he disputed democratic mores and sought to effect changes that would facilitate authoritarian and unchecked governance.

With Joe Biden set to replace Donald Trump in the White House in little over a week, Orban's most powerful political soulmate will be removed from the international chess board, taking with him the hope that a populist-rightist alliance could triumph globally over liberal forces.

It would be ridiculous if it were not horrifying. What we saw was neither a metamorphosis nor an embodiment of the sarcastic and very popular quote often attributed to Groucho Marx: "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them… well, I have others." 

The mob of Donald Trump supporters that stormed Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on Wednesday was no bolt from the blue.

Certain political leaders have succumbed to the sirens of anti-systemic rhetoric and inflammatory demagoguery that eventually mobilized the mob, which interrupted a joint session of Congress during which the Electoral College vote was to be certified.

According to the AP, Trump, who on Thursday morning still unfoundedly claimed that the elections were rigged, announced in the evening that he would focus on the unhindered and peaceful transition of power to the Biden administration.

While eagerly awaiting the post-Trump era of US politics, Greek leaders condemned Wednesday's storming of Capitol Hill in Washington by supporters of the outgoing Donald Trump. 

The attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, taught Americans and the world in the most dramatic way that the only superpower was part of the world, that it did not stand apart, that it was just as vulnerable to attack from an outside enemy as any other country.
