Richard Ruben was Martin Buxant’s guest on Bel RTL Matin. The comedian looked back on significant events and personalities of 2024. He describes this year as “surreal”.
“When we say that the most powerful man in the world had a wonderful electoral campaign by ending his last meeting by miming fellatio… We no longer have any points of reference. I’m a little lost,” this Richard Ruben.
According to him, Donald Trump is the character of the year 2024. “He won by a large margin, but on the platforms, we are changing the paradigms to give you an interview with Martin Luther King, who has been dead for 56 years, and there is one American in 100 who will believe that Martin Luther King advises to vote for Trump, it’s surreal.”
Richard Ruben also spoke about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “People are very ungrateful, saying that he is tiring us. When you see his face at the start of the war and now, he has taken 10 years. He is a very courageous man, because we had offered to exfiltrate him …”
In Belgium, two elections took place in 2024, the legislative and the municipal. And for the comedian, the current political situation is also “surrealist”. “I don’t understand why we no longer hear the Prime Minister (editor’s note: Alexander De Croo), even on current affairs. It’s completely surreal. He’s not doing his job. No one is going to blame him for talking to us about the weather in time, and to tell us that everything is under control To say ‘we are doing what we can, I am thinking of the self-employed, I am with you, I am thinking of the people who lack means. With inflation, people are. on the floor I think he is. failing in his obligations as a human Prime Minister.”
