Por JOSEPH WILSON BARCELONA, España (AP) — El rugido era ensordecedor dentro del vagón del tren mientras se salía de las vías y luego deslizaba por una pendiente pronunciada. Y luego, en medio del metal retorcido de los escombros, los gritos de los heridos y el silencio de los muertos. Rodeada de cuerpos tras el accidente de tren en el sur de España, una niña pequeña de alguna manera emergió prácticamente ilesa. El periódico La Vanguardia informó que un agente de la Guardia Civil la encontró descalza en las vías después de que escapara por una ventana rota. El familiar Juan Barroso dijo a los periodistas que la niña de 6 años está en buen estado de salud después de recibir tres puntos en la cabeza en un hospital. El alcalde del pueblo de su familia, ubicado cerca de la línea ferroviaria, declaró que encontraba un poco de consuelo en el hecho de que esta niña estaba fuera de peligro. “Son muchas personas las que las que están tristes y este fatal accidente nos ha dejado de víctimas. Pero hay que dar también con la parte positiva. Iban muchas personas también en este tren que prácticamente han salido ilesa. El milagro de la niña que también está ahí, gracias a Dios”, apuntó el alcalde de Punta Umbría, José Carlos Hernández, tras observar un minuto de silencio por las víctimas el martes. Entre ellas estaban los padres, el hermano y un primo de la niña. Al menos 41 personas murieron en el accidente que ha sacudido a la nación y ha dejado huérfana a la niña. Los apellidos de su familia son Zamorano Álvarez, según informó el ayuntamiento, pero The Associated Press no está revelando su nombre de pila. Punta Umbría ha declarado tres días de luto por las víctimas, incluida la familia Zamorano Álvarez. Estaban sentados en los vagones delanteros que soportaron el mayor impacto cuando un tren que venía en dirección opuesta de repente se salió de las vías por razones aún desconocidas. El alcalde Hernández señaló que la niña está ahora con sus abuelos en un hotel en Córdoba, la ciudad más cercana al accidente. “Es una familia tremenda, va a conseguir que esa niña tenga una vida feliz”, declaró Hernández. ___________________________________ Esta historia fue traducida del inglés por un editor de AP con ayuda de una herramienta de inteligencia artificial generativa.

If a president’s most valuable currency is time, Trump operates as if he has an almost limitless supply, ever willing to share no matter the day, the hour or the circumstance. He’s rewritten the role of the presidency in a divided country, commanding constant attention with little regard for consequences. For all his talk about strength, his approach leans more toward virality than virility with social media as his primary accelerant. “The president exists loudly,” said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. “The president will play with fire. I haven’t seen him yet play with live hand grenades, but I’ve seen him come damn close. That’s just the way he is, and it’s not going to change.” At least Trump thanks you in the process. During his second term, the Republican president has signed off of his social media post with the catchphrase “thank you for your attention to this matter” 242 times, according to data compiled by Roll Call Factba.se. For good measure, he often uses all capital letters and a few exclamation points. Trump’s decades of seeking attention He has spent decades seeking attention, first in the New York tabloids and later as a reality television star. Attention, positive or negative, is its own reward. In the attention economy, Trump is what Wall Street might call a market maker. The gambits often have a tenuous relationship with truth and sometimes involve misogyny or racism. They can step on the administration’s other priorities and don’t always bend political realities in Trump’s favor (see affordability concerns and the Epstein files ). But they’re hard to ignore. “He’s saying hello to you in the morning, and he says good night to you at the end of the day,” Republican strategist Ron Bonjean said. “You’re never not going to hear from him.” In his second term, he observed even fewer constraints on where to assert his presence, with a fondness for sports. During September alone, Trump attended three major sporting events around New York City. His visit to the U.S. Open final forced long security lines and delayed the start of the match. The crowd — dominated by New York’s elite — booed him, but that didn’t matter. He was still on the stadium’s big screen and all over social media. That’s where some of the biggest changes during Trump’s second term have unfolded. During his first administration, many Silicon Valley leaders were cold — or outright hostile — to Trump. He was banned from platforms including Twitter and Facebook after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The leaders of those companies are now openly allied with Trump or at least friendly with him. Twitter is now named X and owned by Elon Musk, who led the Department of Government Efficiency during the first months of the second term and has returned to the president’s orbit after a brief falling-out. Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg were among the technology executives who attended Trump’s inauguration last year.
