« Un enfant de six ans » : Biden se moque à nouveau de Trump

« un enfant de six ans » : biden se moque à nouveau de trump

« L’élection de 2024 bat son plein et oui l’âge est un sujet », a lâché Joe Biden avant de lancer : « Je suis un adulte qui se présente contre un enfant de six ans ». Icon Sport

Il est de tradition lors du dîner annuel des correspondants de la Maison Blanche à Washington où tout le gratin, journalistes ou célébrités est réuni, que le président écoute, avec le sourire, un humoriste l’éreinter en règle devant une assemblée en smoking et robes longues, puis prononce un discours émaillé de blagues plus ou moins réussies.

Si les invités ont été accueillis devant l’hôtel Hilton, samedi soir, par une centaine de manifestants contre la guerre à Gaza, le conflit n’a pas été sur le devant de la scène pendant cette soirée.

À la manœuvre cette année pour rire du président américain se trouvait le comédien Colin Jost, auteur et acteur pour l’émission phare de la télévision américaine « Saturday Night Live », diffusée sur NBC. Son épouse, l’actrice Scarlett Johansson, était également présente samedi au dîner.

« Je voudrais signaler qu’il est 22 heures passées, Joe l’endormi est toujours debout, pendant que Donald Trump a passé la semaine à s’endormir au tribunal chaque matin », a asséné l’humoriste, dans une allusion au procès à New York de l’ancien président pour une affaire de paiements dissimulés à une ancienne actrice de films X.

Entre autodérision et taquineries à l’encontre des médias, Joe Biden, 81 ans, a pris la parole pour railler son rival républicain, 77 ans, expliquant que « l’âge est la seule chose que nous avons en commun ».

« Oui l’âge est un sujet »

Colin Jost et Joe Biden ont toutefois adopté un ton plus grave en abordant la question du climat politique aux États-Unis. La rhétorique de Donald Trump constitue un danger selon le président américain, en particulier après l’assaut du Capitole en 2021, et « les enjeux ne pourraient être plus élevés », d’après lui.

« L’élection de 2024 bat son plein et oui l’âge est un sujet », a lâché Joe Biden avant de lancer : « Je suis un adulte qui se présente contre un enfant de six ans ».

Pendant ce temps à l’extérieur, la manifestation s’est poursuivie. Les protestataires sont parvenus à suspendre un drapeau palestinien de plusieurs mètres de long. D’autres étaient rassemblés en contrebas, au niveau de la chaussée, tenant des pancartes ou des mégaphones.

Un des groupes qui ont organisé la manifestation devant l’hôtel Hilton, Code Pink, a dit vouloir « arrêter » le dîner pour protester contre « la complicité du gouvernement Biden dans le ciblage et le meurtre de journalistes palestiniens par l’armée israélienne », précisant que cette action serait « non violente ». Depuis des mois maintenant, à chaque fois que le président américain se déplace, des manifestants se rassemblent pour protester contre le soutien à Israël de celui qu’ils appellent « Joe le génocidaire », et pour réclamer un arrêt des hostilités à Gaza. En outre, plusieurs journalistes palestiniens avaient appelé dans une lettre ouverte leurs confrères américains à boycotter cet événement très couru, point d’orgue de tout un week-end de réceptions mondaines.

« Vous avez une responsabilité particulière de dire leur vérité aux puissants et de soutenir l’intégrité journalistique. Il est inacceptable de rester silencieux, par peur ou pour des raisons de carrière, lorsque des journalistes à Gaza continuent d’être détenus, torturés, et tués parce qu’ils font leur métier », avaient écrit une vingtaine de journalistes palestiniens.
