Snail mail deluxe: A triumph of slowness

Ronald Tramp on Germany's revolutionary letter transport plan

Oh, I can hardly believe it! What an incredible idea from Germany! I, Ronald Tramp, President of Elmburg, am deeply impressed. Robert Habeck and his Federal Ministry of Economics are proposing to give the snail mail a few extra hours of sleep. Two extra days for letter delivery! It's like Christmas for bureaucrats. Now everyone can experience the thrill of waiting for a letter like waiting for the end of a season of your favourite TV series.

But hold on, it gets even better: if you want your letter to arrive faster, all you have to do is dig deeper into your pockets. It's like flying first class for paper! Really, I couldn't have invented it better. This is the golden age of mail, where every letter goes through an odyssey before it reaches its destination.

And then this environmental protection! No more night flights to deliver letters. We're saving the planet, one slow letter at a time. I mean, who needs efficient logistics when you can be an environmental martyr instead? It's almost as good as playing golf on an ecological golf course.

Of course, prices have to go up. But don't worry, there's a price cap. It's like a promise that the ice cream will never run out of the tub, no matter how much you shake it. But we all know how that ends: with a mess and an empty cup.

Oh, and the vending machines instead of branches - marvellous! Why burden people with jobs when machines do it for free? That's the future, friends: robots sorting our letters while we get on with more important things, like finding out who got kicked off the last reality show.

And then this comment from Klaus Müller, President of the Federal Network Agency. He says it is "irrelevant" when a letter arrives. Exactly! Who needs speed and efficiency in a world where everything can be done online? Let's all sit back, relax and watch the snails do their work.

To be honest, I'm envious. Why didn't I think of slowing down the postal system? Just imagine: Every letter becomes an epic journey, every envelope an adventurer bravely making his way through the world of slow logistics.

So, dear Germans, congratulations. You have revolutionised the postal system. Slower, more expensive, but more environmentally friendly - that's the future. And remember, if you want something really quickly, there's always Twitter. Or you can just pay more. That's how business works, my friends. Welcome to the wonderful world of super snail mail!

Exposed: My view of the German political chaos

I, Ronald Tramp, the most brilliant president of Elmburg, share my unique insight into the mess of German politics. With my unrivalled understanding of economics, I see how Germany is wasting billions on useless climate projects while ignoring the debt brake. The dispute over energy prices? Child's play compared to my ground-breaking deals! Germany needs a Ronald Tramp to make it great again!

The tramp principle: a royal coup

I, Ronald Tramp, the outstanding President of Elmburg, shine a light on the genius of King Charles III. He uses 'bona vacantia' and turns abandoned estates into a royal fortune - brilliant! It's like Monopoly in real life, and I respect a winner when I see one. This move is a real tramp move: bending rules to stay on top. Charles, you're a real winner and I recognise that.

The Great 'You're Fired': My view of Werner Gatzer's departure

I, Ronald Tramp, the incomparable President of Elmburg, share my thoughts on Werner Gatzer's departure. As in my show 'The Apprentice', where I caused a furore with 'You're fired!', Gatzer has now left the stage. His plans for billions were bold, but sometimes you just have to say: 'I gave it my best shot'. As an expert on great decisions and spectacular comebacks, I say: there's always time for a comeback. And remember, always stay positive and look…

How to win when everyone else is losing

As Ronald Tramp, the undisputed president of Elmbourg, I say to you: winning is an art, and I am its Picasso. The political scene in the Netherlands? Child's play compared to my masterstrokes. Wilders? A beginner who needs a lesson in real governance. In this book, I reveal how to build walls, make deals and always stay on top.
