      Have you seen any of the videos of him signing executive orders? He literally doesn’t have a goddamn clue. He’s just rubber stamping everything they put in front of his face.

        Exactly. I’ve been saying it since 2016. Trump is just the face of the global corporate plutocracy seizing the means of democracy. Numerous corporations and oligarchs worked together to create the pseudo-libertarian conservative propaganda machine decades ago, and they are now leading this fascist revolution.

        Fascism is a fusion of the corporation and the state, and multinationals look at Chinas state capitalist monopolies with envy. That’s why every single one led them are bending the knee instantly. This is what they’ve been working towards for years. A democratic “will of the people” is the greatest threat to their wealth and power, and nation states are only thing with enough power to hold them accountable.

      I think about this all the time when it comes to Trump’s social media posts (which seem to be the majority of his communication).

      Trump ain’t writing those. Those are carefully crafted to sound like stupid and ignorant Trump, but they’re obviously not him as his social media posts are clearer and more nefarious.

      Like I think Trump is an evil bastard and terrible in countless ways, but I genuinely don’t think he knows what is going on and is himself just a Stooge of something bigger. I really don’t think he’s behind almost any of his social media posts these days.
