Yet it soon became obvious that he wasn’t able to deal with the deep state, he appointed far too many establishment figures as advisors who stymied his intentions in so many ways and finally they ran circles round him with covid – anyone remember this?
Any apologies for the disaster he initiated? The millions who died, and many more injured through his “very successful, amazing vaccine”? To say nothing of the mask, distancing, hand sanitising, isolationist, ventilating fiascos. He was so gullible to go along with his appointed self proclaimed experts who no doubt shielded him from the people with actual knowledge of what was being produced who were desperate to sound the warnings. And I think I see the same thing happening now with tariffs. Somebody has planted a seed in his mind that tariffs in the 19C were responsible for America’s rapid rise to world dominance and all he has to do is reintroduce tariffs and Bingo! America becomes top dog again. Manufacturing operations will rise phoenix-like from the ashes, millions of competent, experienced, technical and managerial staff will wake from their 40 year slumber to run said factories and supply lines and a couple of trillion dollars of finance will magically appear to enable this all. Warp speed industrialisation. What could go wrong? Well, we’ve seen what has gone wrong with warp speed tariffs. Unlike the real vaccine experts the dilithium bond markets have forced flip-flops right left and centre proving that, like the jab policies, they were badly thought out and implemented. The question is, has the damage been done?
Because we really do need someone who can disrupt the deep state, the dinosaur era financial system and the American people’s sense of entitlement drummed into them since WWII. He learnt some things from the first time around, and had planned his first moves carefully, but of course the DS knew he would have a prepared agenda and worked on their own plans.
The one thing we learn from history, is that we don’t learn anything from history. I would really love Trump to be the exception.
