Early signs suggest Trump
2.0 will be bringing the
chaos back
Remarks belittling Canada, intimidating the media, and blocking a budget deal in congress hint at what’s to come.
“We’re going to see more chaos in Trump’s second term than his first,” said Todd Belt, political science professor at George Washington University. “I think what has happened this week is a good indication of what is to come.”
He added that a Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents sweeping immunity for official acts will give Trump “more of an opportunity to act on his worst impulses.”
The Republican has stolen the limelight from outgoing president Joe Biden, who has largely disappeared from public view in his final weeks in office.
On Monday, Trump gave his first news conference since winning the Nov 5 election, talking to journalists for more than an hour about various topics – and savouring the attention.
“Everyone wants to be my friend,” he said when commenting on the visits of various billionaire tech CEOs and other leaders to his Florida residence, which he will leave on Jan 20 for the White House.
‘Big believer’
He told reporters that he wanted to “straighten out” the press – something his team has pursued through lawsuits that observers and rights groups worry are signs of escalating censorship tactics.
While commenting on a wide gamut of issues, Trump has also shown that he has not changed in his predilection towards delivering vague, sometimes contradictory, messages.
Take vaccines, for example. The Republican said that he is a “big believer” in the polio vaccine, but also sowed doubt over a widely debunked link between vaccination and autism.
“There’s something wrong. And we’re going to try finding that,” Trump said, noting a rise in autism cases in the US that experts say is due to changes to diagnostic criteria, increased awareness and better screening.
Trump’s first term in office was marked by sensational announcements, spectacular dismissals, constant reversals and diplomatic turmoil.
Decision makers and analysts faced a dilemma: do you take everything Trump says at face value, or do you ignore the words of the leader of the world’s most powerful nation?
Four years on and the problem remains, as shown by Trump’s teasing remarks about Canada on Wednesday, when he said it would be “a great idea” for it to become the 51st US state.
Market slump
The ongoing confusion caused by the Republican leader is already a headache for journalists, diplomats, politicians and financial players.
“We just don’t know really very much at all about the actual policy,” Jerome Powell, head of the US central bank, said on Thursday.
“We don’t know what will be tariffed, from what countries, for how long, in what size. We don’t know whether there’ll be retaliatory tariffs.”
The Fed this week raised its inflation forecasts and decided to slow the pace of its rate cuts next year, causing the stock market to slump.
Trump’s second term promises to be all the more turbulent as he is, for the time being, flanked by another unpredictable personality: Elon Musk, the world’s richest man.
The head of SpaceX, Tesla and X has shown his intention to weigh in on political debate, inviting himself into the congressional budget discussions this week.
In an authorised biography of Musk, author Walter Isaacson defines the entrepreneur’s approach to building rockets as follows: “Take risks. Learn by blowing things up. Revise. Repeat.”
A month is a long time in politics.
ReplyDelete2 months from now, a full month of Trump Presidency.
My guess is the MAGA mob will have created a full load of chaos

ReplyDeleteErdogan: “Turkey is greater than Turkey itself. As a nation, we cannot limit our vision to 782,000 square kilometers. Those who ask, what is Turkey doing in Libya, Syria or Somalia? May fail to comprehend this vision and mission.”
The Dictator is literally telling you what he’s doing, to land grab and expand Turkey’s borders. And he’ll do anything to achieve it, including using radical Islamic terrorists.
Wake up.
Ottoman Empire Redux??

To say that 'Elon Musk' is the 'President' implies that people are too stupid to think for themselves.
For the first time, thanks to X, the public is seeing what is actually happening in our government at scale.
Elon's account acts as a megaphone to bring attention to what's happening.
Individuals are then analyzing the information and making a judgement on its legitimacy.
Elon's posts going viral are not a function of Elon - it's a function of how many people are upset with the Government.
The difference now is that the public has a feedback mechanism to understand what's happening and voice their displeasure.
It is, in fact, We The People, and Congress has long forgotten this fact.
Career Politicians have belittled the public for far too long.

First time in world history that the people of any nation have had near real-time information about the actions of rulers who pretend to be public servants.

ReplyDeleteThe article doesn't go into the details that anons know but it's def an opening salvo 💥
In keeping up with current affairs in America, from 2016 onwards, good to follow x and other ostracized social media platform and the "anons" for additional insight, on top of the msm... controlled chaos at play, using their playbook against them.

Think about what you're shown here.
No, really.
Think about it.
WHAT ARE THEY SHOWING YOU?
Can you SEE what you are being shown?

DeleteCan you see how Trump and Johnson just played the democrats and the RINOS?
This was the biggest “rug pull” in Congressional history.
The setup:
Johnson negotiates with the democrats for a last minute CR like Congress has done for years now.
Exposure:
Two days before the deadline, Johnson puts out the entire CR so the public can read it.
Instantly anons dig up lots of poison pills within the bill and expose it on X.
These poison pills go viral and then Elon says he’ll fund the primary opponent of anybody that votes for it.
Power back to the people:(Trump’s plan)
The American people are outraged and make it known to their “representatives.”
The bill instantly dies, which shocks the democrats and the media.
(Rug pull)
Something has changed from the past.
The trap:
Then Johnson negotiates a new deal and cuts out all the garbage.
The bill went from 1547 pages to 116.
Then Trump posts his “endorsement” and announces that he wants the debt ceiling raised on Biden’s watch along with this new slimmed down version of the CR.
What happens next?
Democrats abandon the deal and vote it down. And they are angry.
Now a government shutdown looms which is a good thing and they get the blame.
But don’t miss this part of the plan.
After exposing this “scam” that’s been going on for years in Congress to launder our money, Elon then puts out a “picture” for the American people that instantly goes viral.
A “picture” of the two bills sitting side by side on a table.
The 1547 page bill stacked high and the small bill of 116 pages.
This was all planned.
Why was this “picture” so important?
Q told us that you can’t tell the American people, you have to “show” them.
Not only did this picture “cement” the death of the first negotiated bill of 1547 pages or anything like it, but it also set the “standard” going forward.
Because the base CR that Trump approved of is the 116 page bill, now anything “added” to that 116 pages has a spotlight on it.
Every single page above the 116 page CR that Trump has approved, will now be scrutinized and exposed on X by all Americans.
Checkmate!
Then Johnson gave the democrats/RINOS an alternative that he knows they hate, but is a PREVIEW of what’s coming in the future.
He offered the option to vote on each item as a single bill, which would kill everything in the first CR too.
Trump has already won.
This was all planned ahead of time.
Trump exposed the scam and will either get the slimmed down version he approves of or get the government shutdown which will help “show” the people just how much of the federal government is non-essential.
Just in time for DOGE to kick in.
More winning!
Elon had x about support, possibly in monetary form as well, to:

ReplyDeleteI’m not an insider and never have been.
I’m reading the tea leaves and I think Trump is a lot smarter than anybody in the media gives him credit for.
There are reasons why things are happening the way they are.
Most people won’t ask the right questions.
They just run with the narrative they hear that leans into their own opinion.
That’s human nature, not a criticism.
But why aren’t people asking why Trump immediately endorsed the 116 page CR that Johnson quickly produced?
Why hasn’t Trump called for Johnson’s removal, even after the 1547 page boondoggle?
And why did Trump “invite” Johnson with him for two weeks of private events to hang out, where lots of pictures were produced with them together “smiling?”
Trump is a lot smarter than people give him credit.
So many people think they are smarter than Trump and they’re not.
Plus, Trump knows far more about what’s really happening than we ever will.
People are “conditioned” to run with their emotions.
Trump is using Game Theory.
He knows that the enemy’s greatest fear is the awakened populace.
Trump uses that knowledge to his advantage.
He knew that most of America would rise up in outrage once the poison pill garbage in the 1547 page CR was revealed on X.
That’s why Johnson put it out into the public.
So that Trump could unleash the rage of the people on the corrupt members of Congress.
The bill was immediately killed.
Mission accomplished.
Trump is trying to “teach” us that we have the power and the government is supposed to serve us.
That’s why Trump didn’t call for Johnson’s removal.
And ask yourself this question.
If Johnson was really a traitor, why didn’t he wait till Friday to drop the “secret” 1547 page CR on the House and force them to vote on it without reading it like Pelosi did constantly.
As I’ve laid out, I think this was all planned when Johnson spent all that time with Trump.
The perfect trap.

DeleteDon’t miss the second part of the “trap.”
Trump, Johnson and Elon didn’t just trap the House in this game of “CR exposure” and power back to the people.
They also trapped the Senate.
Schumer fell for the same trap.
He fully expected the same playbook that has happened every time in the past.
Schumer fully expected this 1547 page CR to get passed in the House instead of voted down.
He had no second option.
He got “caught” with his pants down.
Now, the House is going to either pass this new Trump approved CR or the democrats get the blame for the government shutdown.
Trump wins either way!
But if the House passes this slimmed down CR that is approved by Trump, Schumer will face a tough choice.
1) Pass the 116 page CR. (Trump wins)
2) Pass the 1547 page version or something similar and face the wrath of the American people. ( Trump wins)
3) Don’t pass a CR and take the full blown blame for a government shutdown. (Trump wins)
Anybody remember this?

Now, KJP just came out and said a government shutdown might “delay” the transition of power from Biden to Trump. There is no mechanism that could do this and maybe it explains why Trump is funding his own transition (also so they can’t spy on him again). Desperation in DC!
