1. TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Defying anger from China, the president of the Czech Republic’s Senate addressed Taiwan’s national legislature on Tuesday,....
Milos Vystrcil concluded a speech that underscored shared democratic values by proclaiming in Mandarin that “I am Taiwanese,” a throwback to former U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s famed 1963 anti-communist speech in a then-divided Berlin in which he declared he was a Berliner...

2. President Donald Trump defended the 17-year-old who fatally shot two protesters in Wisconsin last week, embracing claims by Kyle Rittenhouse's attorney that he acted in self-defense.
Referring to cell phone video of the incident, Trump told reporters on Monday that Rittenhouse was "trying to get away from them, I guess, it looks like" and said that protesters "violently attacked him." Trump repeatedly noted the shooting remained under investigation but also appeared to lean into Rittenhouse's self-defense argument.
"I guess he was in very big trouble," Trump said of Rittenhouse. "He would have been, he probably would have been killed. But it's under – it's under investigation."
Trump made the remarks a day before he set to travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, the latest flash point in violent protests after the police shooting Aug. 23 of Jacob Blake, a Black father who was left paralyzed from the waist down.

3. When the late President John F. Kennedy told his 1963 infamous lie "he was a Berliner", he could still be forgiven by God (if he was lucky to go to Heaven) even though he was of Irish descent. However, when Milos Vystrcil suddenly declared himself to be a "Taiwanese", at least some people in the audience must have been wondering whether something had gone wrong with their ears and eyes. Even such people as Gordon Guthrie Chang had never claimed to be a Chinese or a Taiwanese.
4. However, Milos Vystrcil's bizarre claim has unwittingly pointed the path of victory to Trump in his upcoming re-election. What will happen if Trump suddenly declares "I am a Black American!" during his Wisconsin visit on Tuesday (1 September)? It won’t be surprising that his re-election chances will increase dramatically.
