Who will benefit?
Trump will benefit – he will not be locked up for his criminal activities. He will become incredibly richer.
Billionaires will benefit – he will slash their taxes.
Putin will benefit – he will give Russia Ukraine.
Kim Jong will benefit – he will be left to build up his arsenal.
Trump’s family will benefit – he will nepotistically put them in power positions. They will all become much richer.
The GOP senators will benefit – they will gain much more wealth and power.
Men will benefit – they have control over women.
Fanatical Evangelists will benefit – they get to put into practice their extreme policies.
White Supremacists will benefit – They have been empowered.
The Oil/Gas/Fracking industry will benefit – They can plunder without a care for the environment.
Netanyahu will benefit – he can destroy Palestinians with impunity.
NeoNazi groups will benefit – they are empowered.
You can tell a lot about people by the company they keep (Epstein/Diddy) and who backs them (Musk/Bezos + 81 other billionaires).
It is obvious that Trump is a self-serving narcissist who loves the attention, the adulation, the limelight, power and wealth.
That he is charismatic is not in doubt. He holds his cult in thrall. That is why he is able to get away with murder. Despite his complete lack of morals – his obscene philandering, the rape, sexual abuse and links with paedophile rings, Epstein (who was a close friend) and Diddy; despite his tax evasions, cheating business deals, dodgy interactions with the mafia and foreign despots like Putin; support for extreme white supremacy groups like the Proud Boys; despite being a convicted felon and inciting an insurrection fueled by absurd conspiracy theories; and continuously spouting a stream of lies while, at the same time, shrieking fake news – this criminal conman receives complete, unshakable, adulation. It’s beyond comprehension.
How does he get away with it?
Well, it seems to me that he has concocted a narrative that appeals to the ill-informed, ignorant and unintelligent.
He lies that he has been good for the economy and business. The opposite was true but people have short memories. He promises the earth and delivers fuck all. (He added trillions to the national debt and millions were laid off).
He promises to resurrect all the old polluting technologies – fracking, oil, gas, steel – and give the poor their old jobs back (as if that could ever happen – those old industries are dead as dodos.)
To support his stance on resurrecting outmoded industry he has promoted conspiracy theories, pooh-poohed climate change, and stated that he will withdraw from all international agreements on climate. The man is a selfish pragmatist who only cares about getting elected.
He has undermined all experts, spread fake news, supported conspiracy and endorsed QAnon in order to gain political advantage. Extreme white supremacists and Nazi groups have been empowered (you wouldn’t have thought that we fought a world war to remove the likes of this evil scum). Everything is fake news or disinformation. You can’t trust experts, the mainstream media or the democrats (who are the enemy within). He and Fox News are the only sources of truth!! He will seek vengeance on all who disagree – he is OK with swamps, alien lizards, baby sacrifice in satanic paedophile rings , totalitarian tyranny and the CIA being behind the twin towers. If it gets him elected then the holocaust didn’t happen, the moon wasn’t landed on and the Earth is flat.
He wants to be seen as a strong man which is why he identifies with Hitler, Putin, Xi and Kim Jong-Un. He wants to be a despot too! Fools like strong men and have little understanding of history.
Despite his lack of faith and extremely unscrupulous, immoral behaviour, he has promised the right-wing religious groups exactly what they wanted – a land of misogyny, reduced female rights and macho male power. He panders to the ‘we will not be replaced’ movement by trying to turn women into baby-making machines (remove abortion and contraception, bring back ‘family values’ and get them out of the workplace) Women should know their place – in the kitchen, in the bedroom and not in work. He’d take away their vote if he could (they tend to vote democrat anyway). But the right-wing evangelists love him. They have wet dreams of publicly executing feminists and the sexually active.
He purports to support the constitution (when convenient – not too hot on the transfer of power or democracy) – and so wants to arm primary school kids to keep them safe. The NRA are huge fans.
He scapegoats immigrants and Muslims (immigrants currently take centre stage in the absence of terrorist outrage). There is, due to political extremism, war, climate change and economic hardship, a huge mass migration. Poor people are desperate to escape from gangs, violence, droughts, floods, starvation and lack of opportunities. These desperate migrants are represented as rapists, drug dealers, murderers, pet eaters and scroungers. They are coming to take your jobs and undermine society! Instead of promoting a fairer world, stopping wars and dealing with injustice, climate change and political extremism he proposes a wall and mass expulsion. Who cares about ordinary people? Who cares about death or torture! Kick the bastards out! Human rights is for namby-pambys.
In order to stimulate the economy he wants to produce small government (who needs schools, health care or infrastructure? – Education makes people think and then they see through the lies. What use is a worker if they’re old or ill? – Let them die. Only the wealthy are worthy). He wants to give all those billions in tax cuts (the poor receive a small pittance and the wealthy claw in yet more millions). A policy that added trillions to the national debt when he was in office but spawned billionaires. The rich had never had it better.
He claims to be one with the blue collar workers – despite being a billionaire, living a highly advantaged lifestyle with all the trappings of extreme wealth and a trophy wife to go with it. He milks the poor for every penny he can squeeze or con out of them. For some reason they think he understands them and supports them. They don’t get it – he is exploiting them – sucking them dry until they are husks.
Trump is the charismatic magician who has convinced an army of disenfranchised, discontented, displaced, ignorant, uneducated workers, that he actually represents them!
It’s the biggest con-trick of the century, the biggest snake-oil franchise of all time!
Yet Trump is not really the main force. He is the front of house. Behind him lies the real power.
Trump is in it for himself. Yet, his power and wealth is small-fry compared to the shady dealers behind the scenes. The real power resides with the wealthy moguls, the billionaires and CEOs who stand to gain most; the unscrupulous, uncaring elite who stand to profit enormously; the religious fanatics who can push through their stone-age misogyny and callous, egocentric bastards and profiteers like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. They own the media and make or break the likes of Trump.
If you look closely when Trump is performing you can see the strings!
People like Musk and Bezos are calling the shots. They have a willing puppet in millionaire Trump. They are in it for themselves creaming off profits, reducing taxes, scamming the system. Their greed is running the system. They are robbing the country of resources and don’t give a damn about ordinary people. It’s called exploitation.
It’s not immigrants making people poor. Far from it. They are being scapegoated,
