Summary
A new book, A Very Stable Genius by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, reveals Donald Trump’s ignorance on key historical and geopolitical issues.
During a 2017 visit to the USS Arizona Memorial, Trump reportedly asked, “What’s this all about?” showing a lack of understanding of Pearl Harbor.
The book also details Trump’s confusion over India’s border with China, his eagerness to meet Vladimir Putin before taking office, and his frustration with anti-bribery laws.
The authors claim their findings are based on extensive interviews and documents.
It’s the wealthy managers, supporters and organizers in the background that have all the intelligence to run this circus. They get people like Turnip and Muskrat to lead the show. These are just dumb figureheads that will take the fall when the show is over.
The show is run for as long and as far as possible so that the wealthy owners can get what they want (which is everything)
And if it all works, these owners can all celebrate in the shadows with all their wealth.
And if it all fails, they’ll be the first to leave, hide and say that they never had a hand in any of it.
The thing is though, that so much of that wealth is tied up in valuation of the USD, the US stock market, and the USD position as a reserve currency.
Sure, its clear they want to strip mine the US and bring US living standards down to match places like Afghanistan… But that really shows how little they understand how our own economic dominance was built on trust and stability.
Once we have lost those things, all bets are off on their wealth actually staying stable, too.
They’ve constantly been playing a balancing game since the Reagan era of trying to figure out how to take advantage of that trust while trying to make people live with as little as possible.
The balance game of treating people like slaves without making them feel like slaves.
From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.
