Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

Here is my theory and has been for a while- 2025 project and the techos just wanted to get trump over the finish line and now they are able to implement their plan. Trump goes completely crazy and the pushed him there. They sit him in the corner and let him piss his pants and slobber while they "handle the business" and maybe he has a little TIA or stroke and JD and the boys take over.

Please, we ARE "freaked out." Using a click-paid headline doesn't offer us anything new.

I agree that these interviews are telling us that Trump is not the one in charge. He makes no sense as always. He is the “useful idiot” to the likes of Stephen Miller.

I hate to sound paranoid, although it's more or less unavoidable these days, but re Fatass not caring about public opinion at the beginning of the piece... is it because he knows he's a lame duck and just doesn't care about his party's fortunes after he's gone, or is it because he intends to seize power?

I've wondered if farm bailouts wouldn't be a good bellwether on this question. If he doesn't bail out farmers--again--is it a sign that he no longer thinks he needs their support?

This is not insanity. It is the fascist take over of our country on steroids.

I doubt that Trump and Zelensky are that close to an agreement on the endgame. Ukraine accepted the rare earths deal so they can continue to receive U.S. military and surveillance assistance. Perhaps there is an understanding on ceding Crimea as well. But will we agree to a security guarantee? And how much additional Ukrainian territory will be given up besides Crimea. What about EU membership for Ukraine?

A question that I have is whether there may be backside pressure from the hawkish elements of the Republican Congressional caucuses and perhaps even from Rubio to sustain an independent Ukraine. Trump is allowing the transfer of the additional patriot batteries, for example.

I don't understand all the consternation about Trump's Tariff policies. It's simple he wants to have Americans give him an income stream he calls, "Tariffs". He want our country to be his piggy bank. Oh, don't think so? Then why did he sign a Presidential order to create a new Gov't Dept to collect tariffs!?

Think that department will be transparent on tariff collections and expenditures? I doubt it.

His grift off the American economy explains everything. It surely isn't based on good, or even logical, economic policy!

We need to start asking how much on tarrifs, from whom, and where the money goes!

The Emperor has no clothes. Trump needs to answer about tariff "MONEY"....

If you read the new Atlantic interview with T, you’ll learn that for everything to be in place and ready for him to sign off on on Day 1 had been put together behind the scenes for four years by the Heritage Foundation/the Project 2025 “Gilead” psychos. They were buttoned up and ready to go.

There was a widely distributed video, reported ALL OVER MSM, in August 2024, of

an interview with Russell Vought where he described all of this plan. I don't know how anyone could have missed it. Everything done from day one was described by Vought. There is nothing to be surprised about. whathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8G8yBwF_tQ

The reason he loves Meet The Press, is because there is zero pushback to any of his lies or the garbage he speaks. To Trump it's like going on Faux News lol, it's his happy place.

Trump is psychotic. Has been for a long time, how long exactly we don't know. What we do know is that he never had treatment for his condition. Add to this, aging and dementia and stress and his cocoon of yes-sayers, we get this blithering glob of spitefulness and gibberish that is destroying our country and harming our world.
