Barron Trump, the youngest of the previous president’s kids, will make his political debut this summer time as a delegate on the Republican Nationwide Conference.

His identify seems on an inventory of Florida delegates — together with different members of the Trump household — on the GOP conference in Milwaukee in July. The record, launched Wednesday, additionally consists of Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos.

“Barron may be very interested by our nation’s political course of,” in keeping with a supply aware of the choice.

The previous president’s older kids have performed key roles in Trump’s political profession and helped him handle his companies. However he and former first woman Melania Trump have stored Barron, who turned 18 in March, out of the highlight — till now.

Julian Zelizer, a professor of political historical past at Princeton College, stated whereas there are notable examples of political household dynasties — such because the Bush and Kennedy clans — these households began in politics, and never in enterprise because the Trumps have.

“The Trump household may be making an attempt to place themselves as the following dynasty,” stated Zelizer, who famous each Eric and Don Jr.’s involvement and curiosity in politics.

In line with Zelizer, Barron’s choice as a delegate is “symbolic.” However he stated it serves as an indication that the Trump household intends to stay round in politics and additional reinforce their political dwelling base in Florida, the place the patriarch holds lots of his conferences at Mar-a-Lago.

“It alerts that they’ve their eye on the long run, that this was not only a one-shot deal,” Zelizer stated. “Will there be extra Trumps in politics? … This simply provides to that hypothesis.”

Olivier Renard quitterait le navire du CF Montréal

En matinée, le pire scénario semblait se confirmer. Les informateurs parlaient d’un départ sans équivoque d’Olivier Renard du CF Montréal. Mardi à 21 h, La Presse a appris que les deux events n’étaient pas encore prêtes à confirmer le divorce.



Aussi fragile soit-il, Olivier Renard a encore un lien professionnel avec le CFM. C’est ce qui explique pourquoi aucun membre de l’organisation ni Olivier Renard n’a pris la parole. Nos sources ne nous ont pas précisé la teneur des discussions en cours.

Même Laurent Courtois, le seul membre du membership mis à la disposition des journalistes depuis la semaine dernière, à l’exception des joueurs, est resté évasif sur la query lorsqu’interrogé à ce sujet mardi après le match de son équipe contre le Forge, en Championnat canadien.

« Moi, rien ne m’a été communiqué officiellement », a-t-il dit. Nous l’avions aussi interrogé sur les rumeurs touchant Mathieu Choinière, vendredi dernier, faute d’un plus haut placé à qui poser nos questions.

L’entraîneur-chef du CF Montréal, Laurent Courtois

« Comme je l’ai dit dernièrement dans le cas de Mathieu, tant que rien ne m’a été dit d’un côté ou de l’autre… Ça a été un lengthy week-end. Chaque jour, il y a des petits trucs. Je préférerais parler du match pour aujourd’hui. »

En fin de journée, Courtois a envoyé un message cryptique sur X. « Ensemble », écrit-il, avec une picture de son groupe de joueurs dans le vestiaire.

Bryce Duke, auteur d’un however dans ce match nul de 1-1, s’est amené au podium après son coach. La nouvelle a-t-elle eu un affect sur votre préparation pour votre affrontement contre le Forge ?

« Prochaine query. »

Le malaise, on le despatched.

Le cas Choinière, la dernière goutte

Le journaliste Tony Marinaro a le premier annoncé le départ du chef de la course sportive et vice-président du CFM, sur X. RDS l’a confirmée par la suite, tout comme l’informateur de The Athletic, Tom Bogert. Ce dernier indique qu’il y avait des frictions depuis un sure temps avec le propriétaire Joey Saputo.

Selon nos informations, le file Mathieu Choinière a, plus récemment, mis le feu aux poudres. Le directeur sportif et vice-président du CFM était tout à fait d’accord avec l’idée de payer le milieu de terrain québécois à sa juste valeur, soit d’honorer ses demandes d’environ 600 000 $. Il y avait de la place sur la masse salariale, et Renard n’y voyait aucun problème.

Mais la directive de ne pas y acquiescer, ou du moins de lui offrir 350 000 $, bien en deçà de ses attentes, est venue d’en haut. Ces chiffres nous proviennent de Christine Roger, de Radio-Canada.

Peut-être la directive est-elle venue de Gabriel Gervais ? Ce n’est pas not possible, mais ce serait surprenant. Le président du CFM a toujours vanté les vertus d’une formation partante locale.

« Ces joueurs restent notre base, disait Gervais en entrevue avec La Presse, en novembre 2023. Des joueurs comme Mathieu Choinière et Jonathan Sirois ont dit qu’ils sont heureux ici. Ils veulent continuer de jouer en MLS. […] Tu peux avoir une belle carrière avec le CF Montréal. »

Le président du CF Montréal, Gabriel Gervais

Sachant cela, qui y a-t-il en haut de Gabriel Gervais, sinon ?

Le conseil d’administration, présidé par Joey Saputo.

Ainsi, si la course sportive n’a pas la prérogative d’utiliser à sa guise l’enveloppe budgétaire qui lui est fournie, quel levier lui reste-t-il pour opérer à sa manière ?

Comme Gervais, Renard aussi a toujours dit vouloir faire confiance aux joueurs québécois et canadiens. Et il a agi en ce sens : le 28 août 2023 contre la Nouvelle-Angleterre, l’équipe a mis six joueurs d’ici dans sa formation partante. Sans compter que Choinière et Sirois ont été élus joueur le plus utile et meilleur joueur défensif, respectivement, au terme de la dernière campagne.

« Des dad and mom me disent que même si je ne suis pas une personne du Québec, je fais consideration aux joueurs du Québec, racontait Renard au bilan de 2023. Alors que des gens, avant moi, qui étaient québécois, ne faisaient pas consideration. Ça fait certainement plaisir de faire et d’entendre ça. »

Son bilan n’est pas parfait, cela dit. Des joueurs de la province, comme Sean Rea qui est arrivé avec une belle promesse, n’ont jamais réussi à se tailler un poste. Keesean Ferdinand n’a pas vraiment obtenu la likelihood de se faire valoir avant d’être libéré. Il ne s’est pas fait que des amis dans le soccer québécois. Mais drive est d’admettre que le contingent québécois a plus que jamais été considéré sous le DS belge.

Advenant le départ de Renard, Mathieu Choinière perdrait ainsi le directeur sportif qui le défendait devant ses patrons. Sa demande d’échange sera-t-elle finalement concrétisée ? On peut tout à fait le penser.

Catastrophique

Le directeur sportif quitterait donc le navire du membership après une affiliation de quatre ans et demi. À l’été 2022, on avait annoncé une prolongation de contrat pour une durée indéterminée.

« L’entente avec Olivier traduit une volonté commune de poursuivre la collaboration amorcée en 2019 et le positionne dorénavant au cœur de la construction corporative que nous mettons en place, disait alors Joey Saputo, dans le communiqué. J’ai toujours été convaincu qu’il devait rester avec nous et, plus particulièrement, comme salarié et cadre de l’organisation. Depuis son arrivée, Olivier a largement contribué à faire évoluer l’équipe. »

Le propriétaire du CF Montréal, Joey Saputo

La nouvelle de son départ, aujourd’hui, a le potentiel d’être catastrophique. Sous Olivier Renard, enfin, le CF Montréal a trouvé un sure équilibre dans son file sportif. Un plan était en place. On le suivait avec soin et rigueur.

Pour la première fois de son histoire, le Bleu-blanc-noir a vendu des joueurs à gros revenue, comme Djordje Mihailovic, Alistair Johnston et Ismaël Koné. Le CFM s’est affiché comme un membership pouvant devenir un tremplin pour de jeunes joueurs, d’ici et d’ailleurs, rêvant à l’Europe.

En exécutant des transactions rusées, Renard et son adjoint Vassili Cremanzidis ont réussi à économiser et à améliorer l’équipe du même coup. L’échange d’Aaron Herrera au cours du dernier entre-saison, qui a permis d’aller chercher Raheem Edwards et Ruan pour la même somme, est le meilleur exemple à ce chapitre. Il n’a pas eu que des bons coups – on n’a qu’à penser au fiasco Bjørn Johnsen – mais il y avait, au moins, un fil conducteur dans son travail.

Peut-être que Vassili Cremanzidis, un as dans la gestion des salaires et des règles compliquées de la MLS, prendra le relais. Peut-être cherchera-t-il lui aussi à trouver un employeur qui le laissera travailler à sa guise.

L’effondrement de la course sportive du CF Montréal n’augure rien de bon. Et pourtant, tout allait si bien en 2024.

‘He growls death metal in his pants!’ The Eurovision 2024 bangers to watch out for | Eurovision 2024

Nemo – The Code (Switzerland)

The bookies’ favorite, and you’ll see why. For one factor, it addresses a hot-button social subject – the lyrics take care of Nemo Mettler’s non-binary gender identification – that’s additionally very Eurovision-friendly. In 1998, Eurovision had a transgender winner, Dana Worldwide, 34 years earlier than Kim Petras grew to become the primary transgender lady to prime the UK and US chart with Unholy. Extra importantly, it’s that uncommon factor, an original-sounding Eurovision entry that’s charmingly preposterous somewhat than straight-up daft – its drum’n’bass-influenced rhythm interrupted by high-drama mock-operatics and a vocal that shifts from rapping to falsetto melodrama. You can think about it within the UK singles chart, which is one thing one seldom feels with Eurovision songs.

Windows95man – No Guidelines! (Finland)

Self-conscious wackiness has triumphed at Eurovision earlier than – clearly individuals thought Netta’s efficiency of 2018’s winner Toy, full with hen noises and far gurning to digital camera, was endearing, somewhat than wildly infuriating – so why not the be-mulleted Windows95man, who emerges from what seems to be a large papier-mache egg, performs in his pants and sings in a voice that feels like a cross between HP Baxxter of German pop-techno titans Scooter and a heavy steel “demise growl”? In reality, he leaves a lot of the heavy vocal lifting on the pacy No Guidelines! to another person, whereas he will get on with the extra vital enterprise of waving fireworks round.

Child Lasagna – Rim Tim Tagi Dim (Croatia)

Don’t be fooled by the actual fact he’s known as Child Lasagna, his behavior of posting TikTok movies dressed as a Balkan reply to Ken from the Barbie film, or certainly the none-more-Eurovision Increase-Bang-a-Bang-esque title. Rim Tim Tagi Dim offers with the exodus of younger Croatians for higher alternatives overseas – “I’m going away and I offered my cow!” Its mixture of excessive camp and nationwide satisfaction, synthesisers and exhausting rock is charming. Furthermore, it’s based mostly on a 3 notice riff that, as soon as heard, is mainly unimaginable to dislodge out of your mind with out recourse to cognitive remedy.

Bambie Thug – Doomsday Blue (Eire)

Eire has type with oddball Eurovision winners – Eimear Quinn’s Kate Bush and Enya-inspired The Voice in 1996 – whereas the success of Lordi and Måneskin proves exhausting rock generally triumphs. Therefore wraith-like gothette Bambie Thug’s Doomsday Blue, which is in all places: feedback-strafed steel one minute, a vocal that remembers Napoleon XIV’s 1966 novelty hit They’re Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa! the subsequent, then pounding industrial noise, adopted by plinky-plonk acoustic guitar and Amy Winehouse-ish emoting. It maybe quantities to Attempting A Bit Too Onerous, however that’s positively higher than not attempting exhausting sufficient.

Electrical Fields – One Milkali (One Blood) (Australia)

Already stars of their homeland – the members (“two female brothers” in their very own phrases) are each refugees from the Australian model of The X Issue – nobody can accuse Electrical Fields of speaking right down to their Eurovision viewers: partly sung in Indigenous Australian language Yankunytjatjara, One Milkali (One Blood)’s lyrics are based mostly on, anticipate it, non-integer positional numeral system the golden ratio base. Maybe extra importantly, it’s a fantastic tune, with a classiness that units it aside from the wilfully cheesy finish of Eurovision: mid-tempo funk topped off with hands-in-the-air home piano, and hovering anthemic refrain.

Joost Klein – Europapa (Netherlands)

Readers of a sure classic could dimly bear in mind the 1986 novelty hit Vacation Rap, by which MC Miker G and DJ Sven did their Amsterdam-accented factor over the Madonna hit of the identical title: they have been, you may recall, going to ring-a-rang-a-dang for a vacation. One thing of their spirit appears to relaxation with Joost Klein, who raps too, albeit in Dutch and German, over that Eurovision staple, a understanding tackle warp-speed pop-techno. A lyric about pan-national brotherhood and a touching backstory involving the younger Joost promising his now-deceased mother and father that he would someday signify Holland in Eurovision ought to increase its possibilities on the evening.

Marina Satti – Zari (Greece)

Begins out sounding – somewhat unexpectedly – like Laurie Anderson’s O Superman, however quickly slips into an appealingly leftfield tackle reggaeton, embellished with what feels like tsampouna, or Greek bagpipes, sundry digital bleeps and peculiar vocodered vocals. It’s actually good, however presumably too odd to do effectively. That stated, if the official video, which opens with the phrases “GREECE IS BLISS”, encourages the watching public to go to the land of my forefathers – and it does every thing to entice vacationers wanting coming spherical their home with a plate of selfmade kataifi – then one suspects the Hellenic Eurovision committee will go dwelling blissful.

Olly Alexander – Dizzy (UK)

The one British entrant who made an honest Eurovision displaying in recent times was Sam Ryder, maybe as a result of his Bowie-and-Elton-influenced glam ballad Spaceman was totally different from the same old Eurovision fare. Amazingly, we subsequently reverted to our normal tactic of sending a barely extra pallid model of no matter’s taking place within the charts, with inevitable outcomes. Which brings us to the Pet Store Boys-influenced Dizzy: not a foul tune, however not a fantastic one both, and insufficiently sparky to face out. It’s exhausting to not really feel a bit sorry for Alexander, who looks as if an excellent egg, and piloted sufficient nice pop singles with Years & Years to know Dizzy most likely gained’t reduce it.

Raiven – Veronika (Slovenia)

Ah, the dependable pop hitmaking components that may be a tune concerning the demise of a Fifteenth-century Slovenian lady (who was accused of witchcraft after secretly marrying the inheritor to the throne of Celje) as a metaphor for modern-day feminism. I do know, I do know: for pity’s sake, not that previous chestnut once more. However earlier than you consign Veronika to the already-teetering pile of songs involving feminist readings of Fifteenth century witch trials in north-eastern Slovenia, notice that, as large, melodramatic, fetch-the-wind-machine-she’s-getting-to the-chorus Eurovision ballads go, Veronika is a reasonably stylish instance, with a gothy undertone, some intriguingly odd chattering voices in its rhythm observe and as a lot impassioned vibrato from Raiven as anybody might want for.

Megara – 11:11 (San Marino)

San Marino has a chequered historical past in Eurovision: its entrants have solely certified thrice, it twice did not area a tune in any respect owing to monetary difficulties, and it’s by no means positioned increased than nineteenth. However God loves a trier, and 11:11 – by Spain’s self-styled proponents of “fucksia rock” Megara, who one suspects have famous the best way Eurovision catapulted Måneskin to worldwide stardom – is fairly hanging. It’s nearer to pop-punk than steel (which, given the vogue for pop-punk within the work of Olivia Rodrigo et al, makes it fairly well timed), with quite a lot of ridiculous onstage enterprise involving dancing skeletons.
