I don't think Donald Trump is a boss. I think he's owned. Like a puppet of organized crime. I kind of wish people would understand how real this world really is and see beyond the talking head puppetry. Getting trump out of the presidency is only like cutting off the finger of the real perpetrators. They are still alive without him.

He's definitely only a part of a far larger problem, but he's also the face and voice of the MAGA cult. It feels like they've tried a few times too pass on that torch but they're kinda stuck with him now.

US politics is just reality TV at this point and that's why Donny is president: because the only thing he was ever really successful at in life was being a reality TV character.

The lines between corporate America, the American government, and organized crime are thin to non-existent.

But evidence seems to indicate they do need that puppet to have any power. Although, maybe not anymore.

The thing with puppets is that once one of them wears out you just replace it with a new puppet.

Netenyahu is hoping to stir patriotism before the false flag and war with Iran. If Americans don’t want to die in the Middle East it may come down to a draft and things getting messy.

You are not wrong. But I don't think any of them have that sort of 'charisma' that allowed him to get back into power.
