This guy grew up in one of the wealthiest households in South Africa (his family owned mines and yachts), he's vocally against unions and all about overworking his employees. He's also mentally ill. He wants MAGA but doesn't want to do socialist things.

He's naturally repulsive to the working poor.

The MAGA movement and actually making America great again have nothing to do with each other. Turning America towards authoritarianism (because we know how much Donald admires dictators) is accelerating polarization, making bipartisan cooperation nearly impossible and pushing the country towards civil war. A hard reset seems inevitable, but after the smoke clears hopefully the two parties (Yup, it's not gonna work Elmo) will find some common ground to rebuild on and finally move toward the goal of making America great again.

Donald was the president, but nice try though.

MAGA's are going to boycott this movie hard 😭

@Cult Icon This is hilarious. First it was "the phones are ringing off the hook" now it’s "these countries never contacted us."

EDIT: also this one...

And there you have it, case closed and the files will be obliterated.

If you're ever having a bad day or feeling a little stupid, just think of these people

@Matt!

It is unique in America that a major portion of poor and middle class white Americans, particularly from blue state rural areas and red states will vote for the republican party/right wing policies that make them more poor and have less benefits. By the standards of europe and the rest of the world the Democrats are a far-right or right wing party as well. The rest of the world typically think this as being insane, such as people who live in apartments/trailers will vote for the Republican party.

It starts from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

It is also connected with these forces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dream

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_work_ethic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megachurch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-help

Also what is always missed is the pseudo religious component to it (people who are secular always forget this) , it is basically not logical at all but ideological/religious, also it is ingrained among protestant whites since the founding of this country. Trump merely is an evolution/degeneration of this fraud.

The entrepreneur spirit as politics served Americans well until the 20th century before the era of corporations and big government.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply-side_economics

This fraudulent economics help get Reagan elected and it is the basis of Trump's economics. It is basically developed from political necessity.

Trump stated he wanted to make America the "Crypto Capital" in the world, that is the same as saying that he wants the US to have the most financial crime in the world, which it already does. (legal corruption)

The reality is that what happens for decades is that the super rich/corporations/financiers do not invest in the 'real' economy with their tax breaks/gains but in financial speculation and alterative assets, and buying off real estate/investing in real estate finance (shooting up housing prices etc) and the predatory healthcare system. The truth is finance/healthcare is more profitable than real economy than real production/real work so that's why both combined is 40% + of the US economy. Finance is 20%, Healthcare 20% more or less.

@Matt! Lee Greenwood's trailer park song "God Bless the USA" sums up the scam- there is a reason why Trump constantly hired him to sing at his rallies (he always sings the same song too). Also Trump owns gambling dens.

Lyrics

Lyrics

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away

And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.
Well, there's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say

That I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land (I love this land)
God bless the USA

And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land (I love this land)
God bless the USA

So you're saying you're a Mossad agent without saying you're a Mossad agent.

James Gunn has done a lot of damage the past few weeks with his comments. He better hope Krypto can put butts in the seats.

If the Superman movie doesn't do well at the box office expect The Batman 2 to be fast tracked.

The Jurassic Park movie might actually beat Superman & Fantastic Four at the box office.

Iran/China/Russia/North Korea's main agenda is to steadily roll back American geopolitical power. They see the massive debt & social problems in the US and see the writing on the wall.

China/Russia's (and much of the rest of the non-western world's BRIC) dream is for the US dollar to no longer be the world's reserve currency. They are not in a position to make it happen in the short term but in the long term they already jump started the process with the war in Ukraine by putting pressure on the US-Europe to rearm and exhaust their inventory. A big part of the power of the US dollar is faith in the power of the hegemonic American military and navy.

If this faith is shattered by declines in credibility (as the US has suffered in the Ukraine, Afganistan, Iraq, Houthis etc) the "CRINKS" have progressed on their strategic goal.

Iran's strait is one of the most important energy trade routes for China (the rest of Asia- Japan, south korean, taiwan etc) so if Trump continues attacking Iran, the Chinese have to support Iran like they supported Russia. Overall it can be seen that the "CHRINK" agenda is to force the US to respond to multiple crisis points.

The US is currently preparing for potential war with Russia and China at the same time, and adding Iran would overstretch things even further.

Trump's theatrics shows that he wants to exploit a small tactical win as much as possible to increase US military credibility by a percentage point.

The fact is, if China were to invade Taiwan now, there’s nothing the U.S. could do. China already has the largest navy in the world and defending Taiwan so close to China's borders would be suicide. They wouldn’t even need assistance from Russia or Iran. China’s military is already the second strongest in the world and the U.S. government knows it can’t beat China on its own turf. The same would apply if China, for some reason tried to invade the U.S., they’d be absolutely obliterated.
