Chapter 1: What are the misconceptions about Trump being an outsider?
Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Belle again. So today, we're going to talk about Trump, down south, and the establishment. I've referred to Trump as an establishment figure recently. That's led to some pushback from people who believed the billionaire who for years donated to candidates on both sides of the aisle, who aligned with both parties as it suited him.
who appointed establishment billionaires to his cabinet, who seeks to strengthen the establishment at the expense of the working class at every turn. I think you get the point. Anyway, they think he's anti-establishment, despite, you know, all evidence. But I found their reasoning interesting. Quote, You keep saying Trump is establishment.
Chapter 2: How does Trump's approach compare to previous presidents?
He's an outsider. That's his whole appeal and so obvious. Name another president who isn't fighting wars for oil in the Middle East, but is fighting to keep Americans safe from drugs and cartels. Nothing tells you more about how effective Trump's messaging is than this.
Granted, this message came in before Susie Wiles basically admitted that the strikes on the boats were simply a move to, quote, keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle, and that Maduro's days are numbered. In other words, it's a regime change operation, thinly veiled as something else.
Aside from that, he continues to frame it around Fent, something that doesn't actually come from Venezuela. And now he's declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. So we have a president engaged in a regime change operation long desired by the establishment in an oil and mineral rich country while framing it around WMDs that aren't actually there.
Yeah, he is super different than the establishment presidents of the past.
Chapter 3: What is the significance of drug-related messaging in Trump's agenda?
And just like most right-wingers, you'll support the run-up to a war you don't understand. And then, just like a rock, when it goes sideways or drags on too long or becomes politically inconvenient, you'll pretend like you opposed it and that you always knew it wasn't necessary. Let's also just acknowledge that you can't know what's going on because they're withholding it from you.
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has now stated the public won't get to see the footage of the second strike on September 2nd, which is the subject of criminal allegations. The withholding of this video realistically only serves to convince people the allegations are true.
Hegseth said, quote, Of course, we're not going to release a top secret, full, unedited video of that to the general public. The administration has engaged in widespread releases of this sort of video from this campaign. The decision to withhold the video isn't about means, methods, and tech concerns, which could be obscured. It's about the content of the video. Nobody is buying this.
Chapter 4: Why is the withholding of military video footage controversial?
Trump is the establishment.
Right-wingers will agree that rich people donating to politicians is what leads to a lot of bad decisions for the country. Because politicians then just do the bidding of the rich. Electing Trump didn't stop this. It just cut out the middleman for the rich.
Chapter 5: How does Trump's presidency impact the relationship between wealth and politics?
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
