I often hear complaints about Donald Trumps short term temper tamprums he throws. Random acts to flood the zone. He can talk for hours about complicated regulations, and how he hates them for making his tractors expensive to fix he uses to mow his lawn on his gigantic properties (insert any other shittalk here). So I wonder, how strategic the team behind him operates to secure the survival of his ideology, “Trumpism”? Do they have a long term vision? Something secret and intentional behind even Project 2025? Companies like Palantir will greatly benefit from Trumps presidency I think, even long after Trump is gone.

Trump (and Biden and Harris) are/were little more than mouthpieces. Policies are created by wealthy elites/“deep state”/lobbyists and the politicians just sell the thing to the public by lying and making big theatrical carryings-on.

Look into Peter Thiel. He’s one of the most influential and strategic players operating in the shadows of the regime, and he’s been at it for well over a decade - probably closer to two. And he is one heinously evil motherfucker - personally, I consider him to be an enemy of humanity in general.

I see Trump's terms the same way as I saw Bush's terms. Bush and Trump were the blatant, chaotic and incomprehensible senile fools on the surface. It's the people they put in their administration are the ones running the show.

Trump isn’t strategic, but a lot of the people currently supporting him are. As long as they can keep Trump’s attention elsewhere, they can do whatever they want.
