Donald Trump: la semana en que todo cambió para el presidente de Estados Unidos

Donald Trump: the week that everything changed for the President of the United States

Es como si al asumir la presidencia de EE.UU., en enero de 2017, Donald Trump hubiera recibido un auto nuevo y brillante, el mejor y más hermoso que se haya visto. Y que solo en julio de 2020 se hubiera dado cuenta de algo importante: tiene reversa.

Una función del vehículo que nunca pensó que necesitaría y que ciertamente nunca tuvo la intención de usar.

Pero el pasado lunes, echó marcha atrás y se enredó con la palanca de cambios y el embrague… y ahora no puede evitar que retroceda.

It is as if upon assuming the presidency of the United States, in January 2017, Donald Trump had received a shiny new car, the best and most beautiful that has ever been seen. And that only in July 2020 he would have realized something important: it has a reverse.

 A vehicle feature that you never thought you would need and that you certainly never intended to use.

 But last Monday, he backed up and got caught up in the gear stick and clutch ... and now he can't stop him from backing up.

القسطنطينية العثمانية في عيون مسيحييها.. السلطان الفاتح كما رآه الأرثوذكس والكاثوليك والأرمن

Ottoman Constantinople in the eyes of its Christians ... the conquest Sultan as seen by the Orthodox, Catholics and Armenians

منذ اللحظة الأولى لفتح القسطنطينية "إسطنبول" عام 1453م/ 857هـ، شرع السلطان الشاب محمد الثاني "الفاتح" في تطبيق رؤيته لعاصمته العثمانية الجديدة، ولم يردها مدينة تركية أو إسلامية فحسب، بل حرص على أن تعكس التنوع العرقي والثقافي الهائل لإمبراطوريته الآخذة في التوسع.

كان السلطان الفاتح نفسه من عرق مختلط، وكان قريبا لزوجة أبيه الأميرة الصربية مارا ديسبينا برانكوفيتش خاتون التي حكمت بلادها فيما بعد وتحالفت معه، ويذهب بعض المؤرخين إلى أن والدة السلطان الفاتح "خديجة هُما خاتون" صربية الأصل أيضا، ويوحي ذكرها باسم "خاتون بنت عبد الله" لكونها اعتنقت الإسلام إذ كان اسم عبد الله يطلق على المسلمين الجدد.

From the first moment of the conquest of Constantinople "Istanbul" in 1453 AD / 857 AH, the young Sultan Mehmed II "Al-Fatih" embarked on implementing his vision of his new Ottoman capital, and he not only wanted a Turkish or Islamic city, but was also keen to reflect the enormous ethnic and cultural diversity of his expanding empire.

 The conqueror himself was of mixed race, and he was close to his father-in-law, the Serbian princess Mara Despina Brankovi Khatun, who later ruled her country and allied with him, and some historians argue that the mother of the conqueror, Khadija, Khan Khatun, also Serbian in origin, and her mention suggests it as “Khatun bint Abd Allah "because she embraced Islam as the name Abdullah was used to call new Muslims.
