      Unnecessary distinction. Trump is choosing to do all of this. A lot of people probably have a lot of dirt on him, but he’s still making his own choices.

        Given his current level of lucidity, I doubt he’s capable of independent thought as he still has some hangers-on and aides who appear incompetent but actually have plans of their own, pushing the bastard to approve of their ideas. That he is also but a product of a game long played by vested interests: Roger Stone, the anti-climate Mercers, the Christofascists behind Project 2025, the oligarchy in general, and of course the Chinese and Russians who’d found him the perfect agent of influence.

        He’s so fucking smug, so convinced to be winning but is truly isolating and destroying the US from the inside and indirectly benefiting the new hegemonies realigning the world order.

      I think we’ve reached the point in geopolitics where there’s half-a-dozen hands pulling on any one person’s strings.
