There’s Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). And there’s additionally Trump-o-philia (ToP). One man hates him. One other loves him. Which one sees most clearly?

‘It feels like Christmas, every day. He’s actually getting the financial system going. And getting rid of all these freeloaders.’

An area real estate agent — a robust Trump supporter — came over. She watches the news… and is delighted. Trump assaults the pretensions, waste and balderdash of the Democratic elites. He and his sidekicks, Elon Musk and J.D. Vance, are on the rampage, she believes.

They intestine companies…uncover billions in fraud…and speak powerful to foreigners. Europe has misplaced its method; Vance tells the Outdated World. You’ll need to spend more to guard yourselves, Trump provides.

‘You’re fired’, says Elon…and we’ll ‘get rich’ from tariffs, Trump guarantees.

What enjoyable!

‘I’m closely invested in [a crypto currency]. I’ve been following them for years. In the event that they keep going up, I’ll have enough to buy a household compound.’

Alas, the younger lady could be a little short on cynicalism.

Good luck to her. However we’ve got our doubts.

‘Do you know that that foreign aid group was sending millions of dollars to Chelsea Clinton?’ stated our realtor good friend. ‘They fund the Clinton Foundation… and other groups that she is part of… on the board… a director… something… they have contracts for $84 million. The whole thing was such a scam. It’s a pleasure to see Trump and Musk doing one thing about it.’

The actual fact-checkers declare it isn’t true. Additionally on the web, Chelsea’s web price is reportedly $70 million — which is a lot of scratch for somebody who works for non-profits.

What to imagine? We don’t know. However in comparison with the MIC funds, no matter Chelsea will get is peanuts. To be able to keep away from a financial disaster — chaos…inflation…default — the US must cut deeper.

Not by a few billion… however by trillions. And to do this, it must trim its ‘transfer’ funds and put its firepower industry back on the leash. That’s the true problem. And neither TDS nor ToP has something to do with it. However Bloomberg reviews:

‘GOP Defense Leaders Pushing Trillion-Dollar Pentagon Budget

‘Rogers, Wicker want defense spending to be close to 5% of GDP. Congress has been wrestling with how the US should prepare for possible future conflict with China and address weaknesses in the defense industrial base supply chain exposed by wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.’

That’s proper; they’re planning to spend more, not much less. Is China readying an assault on California? No? Then why would US policymakers wish to spend more money to organize for it?

Sometimes, as an empire degenerates, its civilian authorities turn into much less competent and more corrupt, with too many teams competing for energy and money. Elected assemblies turn into just like the monkey cage within the zoo, every member dancing a jig for whomever palms out the bananas.

Then, democracy — grown too huge, with a growing hodgepodge of fraud and contradictions — awaits its ‘strong man’. He says one thing reminiscent of ‘He who saves his Country does not violate any Law’, not too long ago posted on Fact Social by Donald J. Trump. Claiming to ‘save his country’ he thinks he can do virtually something.

And he’s proper. The establishments which may have stopped him have been twisted or strangled — the Structure, the Courts, Congress…together with the public’s sense of proper and improper. Within the 9/11 panic, people discovered to get in line to be patted down at airports. Then, the Covid hysteria had them going together with lockdowns…whether or not they had been at any actual risk or not. The schools and the press do their elements too — ‘schooling’ or exiling anybody with various factors of view. They had been paid to do it. Asia Occasions:

‘How much of USAID’s US$40 billion annual spending and the budgets of the Nationwide Endowment for Democracy and different authorities companies purchased the cooperation of journalists worldwide?

‘The nearly $270 million in payoffs to “independent media” in the 2025 federal budget – a staggering sum compared to the editorial budgets of the world’s news organizations – could also be a small fraction of the entire subsidy as soon as funds to so-called charitable foundations are tallied up.

‘The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Soros family’s Open Society Foundations and different personal entities sponsored the identical media, bringing the grand whole into the billions.’

The large man comes like a breath of contemporary air to the various ToP victims.

These stricken most severely with TDS will resist. However that’s the place the MIC — together with muscled-up native police and dumbed down civilians — will turn out to be useful.
