“The president decapitates everything he doesn’t understand, condemns that architects charge for their knowledge when “anyone” can build a house, reproaches the many years engineers study because, according to him, wise people know how to make better roads, he affirms that the economy is not a complex thing, and that doctors should not charge for their specialized knowledge. The president hates technology, dislikes science and detests verifiable knowledge; he prefers the lyrical, the improvised, the visceral.”
“El presidente decapita todo lo que no entiende, condena que los arquitectos cobren por su conocimiento cuando “cualquiera” puede construir una casa, reprocha los anos de estudio de los ingenieros porque, según el, el pueblo sabio sabe hacer mejores caminos, considera que la economía no es algo complejo y que los médicos no deberían de cobrar lo que cobran por sus especialidades. El presidente aborrece la técnica y aborrece la ciencia y aborrece el conocimiento comprobable, lo suyo es mas bien lo lirico, lo improvisado, lo visceral.”
ANSWER: These are the words and thoughts attributed to President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (a.k.a. AMLO) by Luis Cardenas, an opinion writer in El Universal, June 11, 2020, a Mexico City newspaper. I’ve been saying there are a lot of parallels between President Donald Trump and AMLO. Here’s someone else saying the same thing.
