Billionaire businessman puppet leader who was US president 2017-2021  Chairman and President,  Trump Organization In office 1968 - Present  Host of The Apprentice In office 2004 - 2015  President of the United States In office January 20, 2017 - January 20, 2021 Deputy Mike Pence Preceded by Barack Obama Succeeded by Joe Biden The only federal officeholder in American history to be impeached twice.

Donald J. Trump is a billionaire businessman who was sworn in as US President on 20 January 2017. Elected on a promise to "drain the swamp" and "end the wars", he had a lot of connections to the US deep state and did nothing to oppose the military-industrial complex. Nevertheless, a virtually united deep state waged an intense psychological operation - Russiagate - against him, and possibly utilized Covid-19 to help rig the US/2020 Presidential election.

Business Career

Wikipedia writes; "He rose to public prominence after concluding a number of successful real estate deals in Manhattan and New York City, and his company now owns and develops lodging and golf courses around the world. Trump partly or completely owned several beauty pageants between 1996 and 2015. He has marketed his name to many building projects and commercial products. Trump's unsuccessful business ventures have included several casinos and hotel bankruptcies, the folding of his New Jersey Generals football team, and the now-defunct Trump University".

During his business career he had a tendency to create headlines with the mentality "there is no such thing as bad publicity", even advocating for the killing of children as young of 14 by law enforcement;

“How can our great society tolerate the continued brutalization of its citizens by crazed misfits? Criminals must be told that their CIVIL LIBERTIES END WHEN AN ATTACK ON OUR SAFETY BEGINS! (...) Let our politicians give back our police department's power to keep us safe. Unshackle them from the constant chant of "police brutality" which every petty criminal hurls immediately at an officer who has just risked his or her life to save another's.”
Donald Trump (1989) 

Trump was an early advocate of the US becoming a new hyperpower in 1990, by expanding a modern form of imperialism making regional influential countries such as Japan, Saudi Arabian and Germany pay the US solely for military protection.

Iraq War

Although being in favour of the invasion, Trump voiced his disapproval of the Iraq war as one of the early ones in 2004.

• Trump was elected President of the United States in the 2016 US presidential election.

“Trump is the face of our collective idiocy. He is what lies behind the mask of our professed civility and rationality, a sputtering, narcissistic, bloodthirsty megalomaniac.”
Chris Hedges (June 2017) 

President Trump did attend the inauguration of his successor, Joe Biden, on 20 January 2021 but said: "I wish the new administration great luck and great success."

Campaign Style

Full article: Donald Trump/Conspiracy theories

After an Access Hollywood video leaked to the press describing Trump joking he could grab women's genitalia because he is a billionaire, in a shocking turn of countering media PR, Trump appeared on the day of the second debate with Hilary Clinton with 4 women accusing Bill Clinton of raping them. Which after the revelations of the Epstein Affair, could've been a form of blackmail.

One peculiar characteristic was the usage of polarizing perspectives and bipolar usage of it in many of Trump's political remarks in his election campaign in the 2010s. He often slipped in exaggerated details in his opinions labelled as "racism" or "conspiracy theories" by "fact-checkers", sometimes voicing censored opinions drawing attention such as the death of Vince Foster, the closest an US politician has come to third rail topics to date.

An often used tactic was not mentioning how past waves of US imperialism had contributed (for example that the US is responsible for the biggest demand for the Mexican drug cartels').

“When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people. It's coming from more than Mexico. It's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably – probably – from the Middle East. But we don't know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don't know what's happening. And it's got to stop and it's got to stop fast.”
Donald Trump (June 2015) 

At times, Trump's statements (even about deep politics) were somewhat close to the mark;

“I've watched the politicians. I've dealt with them all my life. If you can't make a good deal with a politician, then there's something wrong with you. You're certainly not very good. And that's what we have representing us. They will never make America great again. They don't even have a chance. They're controlled fully — they're controlled fully by the lobbyists, by the donors, and by the special interests, fully.”
Donald Trump (June 2015) 

Trump attacked the Republican Party over their "Iraq/WMD" claim in his first campaign. Noted here was the fact he was the only one allowed to present a narrative against the interests of military-industrial-complex, seemingly paving a way for moderates to support him.

And at other times, Trump his statements - especially as a popular Twitter user during the 2010s - were fascinatingly Hollywood-esque;

“Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. They've become rich. I'm in competition with them. They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel. When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They don't have to pay interest, because they took the oil that, when we left Iraq, I said we should've taken”
Donald Trump (June 2015) 

And place enemy images in people's heads while not explaining the full story, or explaining how treasury bonds work and why China's currency and salary of workers is so "low" at all.

“We owe China $1.3 trillion. We owe Japan more than that. So they come in, they take our jobs, they take our money, and then they loan us back the money, and we pay them in interest, and then the dollar goes up so their deal's even better. How stupid are our leaders? How stupid are these politicians to allow this to happen? How stupid are they?”
Donald Trump (June 2015) 

At 0:32: Ironically, Trump revealed a not so widely known fact surrounding 9-11; the agreement of the intelligence services to allow the Saudi royals, wealthy individuals and relatives of Osama Bin Laden to leave the US soon after 9-11, even after Bin Laden was already named as suspect by corporate media, which only stopped being part of the "the US Government knows more than they told the public"-conspiracy theory after the 28 hidden pages of the 9-11/Joint Congressional Inquiry were ambiguously released (with parts redacted) in 2016.

CIA & 7th Floor Group

• The 7th floor group, part of the Clinton network, started running a series of “deputies meetings” from July 2016 onwards, until closer to the election. As Election Day approached Susan Rice, Avril Haines and White House homeland-security adviser Lisa Monaco convened meetings in the White House Situation Room "to weigh the mounting evidence of Russian interference and generate options for how to respond." At first, only four senior security officials were allowed to attend:CIA director John Brennan, Director of national intelligence James R. Clapper, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch and FBI Director James B. Comey. Aides ordinarily allowed entry as “plus-ones” were barred. Gradually, the circle widened to include Vice President Joe Biden and others. Agendas were sent to Cabinet secretaries — including John F. Kerry at the State Department and Ashton B. Carter at the Pentagon.

• President Obama’s former acting CIA chief Michael Morrell published a hearty endorsement of Clinton in the New York Times and claimed “Putin ha[s] recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation,”George W. Bush’s post-9/11 CIA and NSA Chief, General Michael Hayden, writing in the Washington Post, echoed Morrell by accusing Trump of being a “useful fool, some naif, manipulated by Moscow” and sounding “a little bit the conspiratorial Marxist.”

British intelligence services played an early active role in the case, at least from August 2016, with the dodgy Steele dossier and attempts at entrapments of Trump aides.

Foreign Connections & Opinions

Russia

Russiagate was a string of ever-mutating revelations about the Russian government having taken control of the American presidency by blackmailing Donald Trump, starting influence campaigns on social media, supporting Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein and then by apparently not actually supporting Trump, or Trump not knowing of this support, but by "creating division in American society".

Given that Donald Trump consistently has expanded the US military presence near Russia's borders, introduced heavy economic and political sanctions and quit most arms treaties, one can say that if the accusations of Trump being a Manchurian Candidate were true, the Russian government certainly hasn't got its money's worth (the official narrative mentions a $100.000 investment on Facebook social media campaigns. Although "Russian involvement" has haunted Trump's campaigns from day 1, Trump kept voicing his favourable opinion of Putin before and after his presidency, even after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart.”
Donald Trump (2022) 

China

Trump's stance on China became increasingly hostile towards the end of his presidency, starting the US-China trade war in 2018.

“We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing, it's the greatest theft in the history of the world”
Donald Trump (May 2016) 

Stance against WHO

On May 19, 2020, in a letter to World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Trump wrote:

I cannot allow American taxpayer dollars to continue to finance an organization that, in its present state, is so clearly not serving America’s interests.

In response Bill Gates turned to the EU for his fund raising campaign. He still went along, at the very least, with the Covid-19 lockdowns and other measures that dominated the last year of his presidency.

Friend of Israel

In a 2016 speech to AIPAC, Trump denounced the United Nations as an anti-Israeli opponent of democracy. “We will totally dismantle Iran’s global terrorist network, which is big and powerful—but not powerful like us,” he promised, without further explanation. He said he would “dismantle the disastrous deal” struck by President Barack Obama to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, then seemed to say that he would enforce it, or perhaps the sanctions regime that preceded it, “like you haven’t seen the terms of a contract enforced.”

Trump’s State Department recognized Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, flying in the face of UN Security Council resolution 242 that the U.S. itself voted for.

The State Department also formally rejected its own 1978 legal finding that Israeli West Bank “settlements” were “inconsistent with international law.”

Muslims

“The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their families.”
Donald Trump (2 December 2015) 

On 23 March 2016, in an interview with Piers Morgan on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Donald Trump said he had “great respect for Muslims” and had “many friends that are Muslims”. Speaking in the aftermath of the Brussels atrocities, Trump said:

“I knew Brussels years ago, I was there probably three or four times and it was so beautiful, so secure and so safe. And now it’s an armed camp - I’m talking about before this new bombing. It’s a different world, a different place. There’s no assimilation. What’s going on there and what’s going on in other cities like Paris and others is a disgrace - an absolute disgrace - that we allow it to happen.”

He went on:

“I have great respect for Muslims. I have many friends that are Muslims. I’m just saying that there is something with radicalised portion that is very bad and very dangerous.”

Trump signaled that efforts to destroy ISIS were not enough. Trump had previously claimed that parts of London were so radicalized that police were afraid to go on the streets, comments dismissed by the Met Police and David Cameron's government.

2020 Campaign

Full article: Transition Integrity Project

To ensure a Trump loss in 2020, the deep state elements of the Democratic Party game played an advanced regime change operation. Some of the scenarios envisage Trump being escorted out of the White House on January 20, 2021, by the Secret Service, while continuing to "launch attacks against the legitimacy of the election".

Trump's campaign was greatly marked by COVID-19, BLM-inspired riots in cities and police protests criticizing their militarization.

• Trump lost the 2020 US presidential election.

Censorship

BBC News reports on Donald Trump. The headline puts "censorship" in quotation marks as if it is unfounded.

Although the Russian government following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, accused of dozens of war crimes by Anglo-Saxon countries, and others such as Syrian President Bashar al Assad and the Taliban have not been banned, Trump was banned from all social media following the 2021 Washington D.C. Riots.

He joined Rumble on 26 June 2021.

Deep State or Not?

Trump has some friends in the seedier parts of the deep state environment, most notably his mentor Roy Cohn, known for his decades-long sexual blackmail activities Donald is my best friend,” Cohn said in 1983, shortly after he had thrown a 37th-birthday party for Trump..

On the other hand, Trump is not a member of the Council of Foreign Relations and other establishment networks, and has never attended a Bilderberg Conference, all de rigeur to vet top politicians. Also, the majority of the transatlantic establishment was strongly against him from the very start, which gave the impetus to several psychological operations to unseat him.

"Anti Establishment"

Donald Trump confounds the New York Times

“My analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump does not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment. Banks, intelligence, arms companies, foreign money, etc. are all united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as well. Media owners, and the journalists themselves.”
Julian Assange (November 2016) 
Note: Given Assange statements about 9-11, this should've raised questions on multiple levels.

The New York Times was in no doubt: "Donald Trump Is Elected President in Stunning Repudiation of the Establishment".

While Trump's rhetoric of "draining the swamp" and promises of a new economic renaissance decidedly hit home with average Americans, his actual economic policies favored the oligarchs. He cut taxes for the rich; largely failed to bring back promised off-shore manufacturing jobs; deregulated business at workers’ expense; saw income inequality widen under his watch; and did not support a rise in the federal minimum wage.

Echoing the anti-establishment theme, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn issued the following statement:

Trump’s election is an unmistakable rejection of a political establishment and an economic system that simply isn’t working for most people. It is one that has delivered escalating inequality and stagnating or falling living standards for the majority, both in the US and Britain.

Epstein

"I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side".

Trump told New York Magazine for a 2002 profile of Epstein "I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life." In 2019, on the day after New York authorities took Epstein into custody, Trump stated "I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you."

It should be noted that Trump also remarked in the Oval office on July 9 of 2019 that Trump "(...) had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don't think I have spoken with him for 15 years. I was not a fan (...) a long time ago. I'd say maybe 15 years" even having kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago a decade ago., which is strange considering he is listed in the black book of Epstein, encircled as one of the only few, with dozens of methods of contacts, ranging from Mar-a-Lago numbers, a few numbers named "spa", "car", and "direct emergency" along with 4 "h-numbers" possibly indicating house, all the way to security personnel.

Epstein shared a banker from the Deutsche Bank and Citibank with Trump, Thomas Bowers, who loaned hundreds of millions of dollars to both men, and was under the scope of the FBI because of these loans but was found dead in November 2019.

Military-Industrial Complex

Full article: Military-industrial-congressional complex

Trump gave decidedly mixed messages about the MIC starting in his first campaign. While at the one hand not starting any new wars, he gave the military vastly greater budgets and positioned military equipment on the very doorsteps of Russia, China and Iran, setting the stage for a next war. In general, he continued the long-standing attempt at securing US domination over the world, both allies and declared enemies.

His attempts at brinkmanship on several occasions gave the impression of imminent wars against North Korea, Iran and others.

“Don’t kid yourself, you do have a military-industrial complex. They do like war… I said I wanted to bring our troops back home, the place went crazy. You have people here in Washington, they never want to leave. … Some day someone will explain it, but you do have a military industrial complex. They never want to leave. They always want to fight. No, I don’t want to fight.”

Ancient Rome/Deep state	“Commodus, like a number of other late Roman emperors and like Donald Trump was incompetent and consumed by his own vanity. He commissioned innumerable statues of himself as Hercules and had little interest in governance. He used his position as head of state to make himself the star of his own ongoing public show. He fought, victoriously, as a gladiator in the arena in fixed bouts. Power for Commodus, as it is for Trump, was primarily about catering to his bottomless narcissism, hedonism and lust for wealth. He sold public offices to the ancient equivalents of Betsy DeVos and Steve Mnuchin. He orchestrated a vast kleptocracy.”	Chris Hedges	2017
John Bolton	“Trump spoke with Xi Jinping by phone on June 18, ahead of 2019's Osaka G20 summit, when they would next meet. Trump began by telling Xi he missed him and then said that the most popular thing he had ever been involved with was making a trade deal with China, which would be a big plus politically. They agreed their economic teams could continue meeting. The G20 bilateral arrived, and during the usual media mayhem at the start, Trump said, "we've become friends. My trip to Beijing with my family was one of the most incredible of my life." With the press gone, Xi said this is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. He said that some (unnamed) political figures in the United States were making erroneous judgments by calling for a new cold war, this time between China and the United States. Whether Xi meant to finger the Democrats, or some of us sitting on the US side of the table, I don't know, but Trump immediately assumed Xi meant the Democrats. Trump said approvingly that there was great hostility among the Democrats. He then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming US presidential election, alluding to China's economic capability to affect the ongoing campaigns, pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win. He stressed the importance of farmers, and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print Trump's exact words, but the government's prepublication review process has decided otherwise.”	John Bolton	June 2020

Jeb Bush	“Whatever his views are this morning, they might change this afternoon, and they were different than they were last night, and they'll be different tomorrow. ... They seem to be ever, ever-changing, depending on what crowd he's in front of. Sounds like a typical politician, by the way, where you get in front of one crowd and say one thing, and then say something else to another crowd that may want to hear a different view. All the things that Donald Trump railed against, he seems to be morphing into — it's kind of disturbing. ... He doesn't believe in things, this is all a game.”	Jeb Bush	August 2016

Deep state/2017 Popularisation	“The term ‘Deep State’ has entered established parrot journalism, where it joins ‘the one percent’, the other notion ascended from the internet ‘underground’. You can tell by the way it is now mocked in mainstream publications. I first noticed when one of those informed its readers that it lurked somewhere in the remote internet corners given over to conspiracy theory. And now, quite suddenly, there is a mini avalanche of pieces explaining for example why such a thing may exist in Turkey (where the term was first used) or Egypt, but not the United States where all manner of protections guard against it. David Remnick’s article in the New Yorker reflects considerable confusion in parrot journalism ranks about what to do with this concept that has forced itself on America’s consciousness through the combined maneuvers of state and non-state institutions intending to get rid of the new president.”	Karel van Wolferen	4 April 2017

It’s not coming back. It’s just a cheap ticket for opportunistic “outsiders” to nail down the pissed-off vote in GOP primaries. The “we need to keep electing MAGA people, and after ten or twenty elections, we’ll finally save the country” track is RIDICULOUS. By the time of the second election, the first crop would be busy fundraising with Big Pharm and the military-industrial complex, LOL.”	Jacob Dreizin	10 May 2022

Rupert Murdoch	“Murdoch suggested that taking a liberal approach to H-1B visas, which open America's doors to select immigrants, might be hard to square with his promises to build a wall and close the borders. But Trump seemed unconcerned, assuring Murdoch, 'We'll figure it out.' "What a fucking idiot," said Murdoch, shrugging, as he got off the phone.”	Rupert Murdoch Michael Wolff	2018
Vladimir Putin	“His unpredictability is not related to him exclusively, it is also related to a very strong opposition within the country. They are stopping him from delivering almost any of his election platforms and plans. As soon as he makes a decision on migrants, a court blocks it straight-away. It happens all the time. So, it is wrong to say that his unpredictability depends only on him. No, it depends on the entire American political system.”	Vladimir Putin	July 2018
Bernie Sanders	“What [Donald Trump] is doing and this is his entire political strategy is to divide the American people up based on where we came...So you have a president who gives tax breaks to billionaires and wants to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. That's not what he's going to run on. You've got a president who tried to throw 32 million people off health care. He ain't gonna run on that one. You got a president who gave 83 percent of the tax benefits to the top one percent, not going to run on that one. So how do you win an election? What do you say — You see those undocumented people, they all your enemy. 'Stand with me. Hate them. Let's divide this country up.”	Bernie Sanders	June 2019
Charles Schumer	“"Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you," Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in response to the president-elect challenging allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election. "So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this," Schumer added. "What do you think the intelligence community will do if they were motivated to," Maddow wondered. "I don’t know, but from what I am told intelligence officials are very upset with how [Trump] has treated them and talked about them," Schumer replied. "Do we think he has an agenda to try to dismantle parts of the intelligence community? I mean this form of taunting hostility," she said. "Let me tell you. Whether you’re a super liberal Democrat or a very conservative Republican, you should be against dismantling the intelligence community," Schumer noted.”	Charles Schumer	2017
The Twitter Files	“After the 2016 upsets of Brexit and the election of Trump, however, the establishment soured on free speech. Both events were seen as undermining NATO, and both were blamed on foreign influence on social media—specifically Russia. The U.S. and UK governments in particular saw the need to identify and purge Russian influence operations online and set up a government–private apparatus to do so.”	Peter Svab The Epoch Times	17 January 2023

4 October 2022 Jun  What happens when the billionaire friend of all the corrupt politicians runs for president promising to end all corruption? More of the same? Who would've thought?
The most talked about president in the world post 9-11. Trump has become the spokesperson for a conservative/alt-right hybrid section of a splintered US deep state that most importantly got older generations on the Internet listening to hand-picked political theories. His campaign-style is always peculiarly focused on the emotional engineering of older rural Americans that the American system (or the Pareto Principle) threw overboard after the Cold War. Up until now nobody still knows why Trump was placed there: Are they planning a civil war by rallying rural Americans to arms? Or is it just the new reality to pander to ageing populations?
