After all, German politics does not seem to be under the illusion that the good old days will return with a new man in the White House. “We all know that the Obama administration already asked Germany to do more, for example when it came to the cost of the joint defense budget. That would be called up again in the same way under a new president and Germany has to adapt to it, ”said North Rhine-Westphalia’s Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU).

Unfortunately for Turkey, President Erdogan is under the illusion that he is an economics expert and is influencing the government’s monetary policy. He refuses to increase the official interest rate, arguing that the lower interest rates (tỉ lệ lãi suất) control inflation (lạm phát). This unorthodox theory by Erdogan explains the negative real interest rates, close to 4 per cent that is, the rate of inflation is 4 per cent higher than the official interest rate. It seems that Erdogan’s refusal to increase interest rates could be related to the teachings of Islam, which is dogmatically against interest. (See ‘Why is interest prohibited in Islam?’ by Mohammad Hossain).

No one seems to be under the illusion that Mr. Trump will fade quietly. All week, as he launched an extraordinary (lạ thường), baseless attack on the integrity of the election, few in his party challenged claims that he was being cheated of a victory. Privately, some began discussing the possibility that he might not concede, which would put them in the awkward position of having to choose whether to defend him until Mr. Biden’s inauguration (ngày lễ nhậm chức tổng thống) in two and a half months.
