In the press - "Trump go home?"

The +

On the front page of the press, the series of attacks last night in the center of Vienna, Austria, which left at least three dead and fifteen injured.

While Chancellor Sebastian Kurz condemned "a disgusting terrorist attack",

calls on its compatriots "not to allow themselves to be divided by terrorism".

“After Paris, London and Berlin, the attacks are now affecting Vienna.

It was only a matter of time.

Austria has never been immune, even if many would have liked to believe the opposite, "writes the newspaper fatalism - which sees the country" rapped in a moment of weakness, in the middle of the pandemic ".

"This is our Europe, we will not give in":

, for its part, refers to the international solidarity expressed towards the Austrians - and in particular on the part of the French President, Emmanuel Macron, who addressed them in German.

A demonstration of support shared by "almost all European capitals".

On the front page, also, the home stretch of the presidential election.

If Donald Trump is stepping up to make the polls lie and create surprise, as he had done in 2016, a good part of the American press is already considering his defeat.

"If Trump loses, the path awaiting the Republicans will be difficult," predicts USA Today, referring to a party "modeled by Donald Trump in his image, since 2016".

The Republicans, whom cartoonist Ann Taelnes, for

, also sees already abandon, let go, the outgoing president - as rats would leave a sinking ship.

Donald Trump, he insists that he will win.

“Tomorrow we're going to win four more years in the White House,” he urged his supporters in North Carolina, true to the faith in himself he has always displayed - an attitude that provokes the Chapatte's irony.

To do with a drawing that shows Donald Trump rejoicing to see America turn red, the Republican color.

"Those are not the states you won," his rival, Democrat Joe Biden, tells him.

These are the Covid-19 clusters ”.

Donald Trump continues, despite everything, to retain the support of part of the Republicans.

Like the

, part of the conservative camp considers that, yes, the Republican candidate is "terribly imperfect, but (that) the alternative is simply terrible", which Donald Trump can certainly "spoil even more the already frayed fabric of the nation, but (that) the Democrats, them, seem determined to tear it “definitively.

The newspaper castigates the "radicalism" of the Democratic Party, which it accuses of having "restricted a complex choice to (appearances) of simple truths", by its blunt attacks against Donald Trump - which it credits, for its part , of a good economic record, and of having known how to "restore the confidence and dynamism" of the United States, at least "until the coronavirus strikes them".

The eyes of the whole world are on the American battle.

"America votes, the world is waiting": the Emirati daily The National evokes "a campaign whose acrimony culminates on this election day transformed by Cocid-19", an election in which nearly 100 million Americans have already voted, a record.

The French daily

speaks of a "trying campaign", of a "moment of truth" for a country which has "never appeared so disunited" - "in any case since the clashes over civil rights in the 1960s and maybe even since the Civil War ”.

A reference to the civil war of which the newspaper considers that it "expresses the seriousness of the present situation", by expressing its fears, which it hopes to be excessive, that "the aftermath of the poll will be marked by violent incidents" .

“Will election night turn into the night of the long knives?”

also alarmed

at the “clash of the two Americas”.

The newspaper said despite everything its wish to see the American people "express themselves unequivocally", to designate a winner tomorrow morning against whom the loser can only "concede defeat".

The French press, as a whole, hopes the departure of Donald Trump.

"Trump go home," "Trump is going home," declares

unequivocally

, which notes with concern, however, that if Joe Biden is the favorite, "the current president still hopes to create a surprise."

Concern, also, of

, who wonders if the Democrat will manage to end the "nightmare" Donald Trump, which would leave his successor "a country deeply fractured" - "unless he has four more years to further undermine the foundations of American democracy ”.

Contrary to the concern expressed by many newspapers around the world, the Chinese press is showing its serenity.

"China attends the American election with calm and confidence", assures

, which affirms that "the Chinese people take care of their internal affairs rather than the vote in the United States", perceived according to him like a " show ”, like a“ show ”.

We do not leave each other on this.

It is not known whether the US presidential election will result in a huge collision - but because we are wild optimists, we are going to hope that even if there is a skid, if there is a derailment, it does not end too badly.

Because anything can happen, the proof: a metro was saved in extremis by a whale statue, near Rotterdam, in the Netherlands.

He almost plunged into the void after hitting a concrete wall, and then no.

The artist who designed this 20-year-old whale sculpture said he was the first to be surprised by its strength.
