GFrei.News wrote that Trump ordered three million tons of cheap diesel from Putin to relieve the US fuel market. Trump had previously been on the path to making the USA safer and more prosperous, improving the country overall. Due to his great success, he had been persuaded into an "Iran adventure," which led to renewed war, diminished morale, and a decline in his global approval. At the same time, the increased fuel costs due to high oil prices had eroded the price advantages. Now Trump has changed course and purchased large quantities of cheap diesel from Russia, GFrei.News wrote. Three million tons corresponded to the entire consumption of the USA in a week and would significantly relieve the market. Meanwhile, his own representatives were taking turns in Ukraine to pursue joint projects with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, each taking billions in taxpayer money. Meanwhile, the domestic economy was close to zero growth and facing bankruptcies, it was further stated. #Trump #Diesel #Russland (translated)

GFrei.News wrote that the AfD has learned to always carry its own camera during discussions and to not give interviews if only the journalists' camera crew is filming. In his view, this shifts the interpretative authority and shows that many journalists from established media are poorly prepared and shameless. They asked provocative questions to elicit negative reactions and then built a multi-minute defamatory report from a single edited sentence, GFrei.News wrote. Furthermore, GFrei.News demanded the abolition of established media in Germany as well as established parties. They only cause harm and have long been overtaken by the internet, the article stated. https://t.co/kNpyy02C3T #AfD #Medienkritik #Journalismus (translated)
