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".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_career_of_Donald_Trump</ref> 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; {{SMWQ |subjects=Death Penalty, New York, New York State |authors=Donald Trump |text=How can our great society tolerate the continued brutalization of its citizens by crazed misfits?

An often used tactic was not mentioning how past waves of US [[imperialism]] had contributed, or that the US was actively destabilizing and causing war in countries like [[Mexico]] for personal gain. [[ISGP]] has done multiple studies showing the Mexican government, the [[drug cartel]]s and the US are working hand in hand.<ref>https://isgp-studies.com/death-list-potential-government-assassinations#mexico</ref> Trump, regularly chose to omit these details out of his rallies (like how for example that the US is responsible for the biggest demand for the Mexican drug cartels).<ref>https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiMqZ610pDwAhXt_rsIHeQYDuUQFjACegQIFhAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fid%2Fwbna30946730&usg=AOvVaw3_dNK0S0Hb9Zk9PM9pBzYQ</ref><ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/mexicos-sinaloa-cartel-focusing-on-fentanyl-for-us-drug-market-2021-2?international=true&r=US&IR=T</ref>). {{SMWQ |subjects=Mexico, Latin America, Middle East |authors=Donald Trump |text=When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.

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."<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20190718110100/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-claims-he-was-not-a-fan-of-jeffrey-epstein</ref> 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.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/people-trump-said-he-didnt-know-but-did-photos?international=true&r=US&IR=T#george-conway-5</ref>, 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.<ref>https://www.insider.com/jeffrey-epstein-everything-we-know-about-his-relationship-with-trump-2019-7</ref> 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.<ref>https://www.statedepartmentwatch.org/2019/12/04/breaking-epstein-murder-bombshell-big-news/</ref><ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7739149/Deutsche-Bank-executive-gatekeeper-wealthy-customers.html</ref> ===Military-Industrial Complex=== {{FA|Military-industrial-congressional complex}} Trump gave decidedly mixed messages about the MIC starting in his first campaign<ref>https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#2015</ref>. 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. {{SMWQ |subjects=Military-Industrial Complex |text=Don’t kid yourself, you do have a military-industrial complex.
