Lots of views on this doing the rounds on Twitter.
My view is nuanced. I generally see Trump as part of the political establishment however I believe he is not controlled by the people that control Biden - he represents a different faction with their own aims - however this is NOT a democrat vs republic thing either. These interests span across both political parties.
Trump has many people around him who seek to control or influence him in some way to get their interests met.
I suspect that there are ‘deep state’ political players that would prefer Trump dead but if they can’t achieve that they will instead seek to control him through other means.
When I use the term ‘deep state’ I’m referring to the work and term coined by Berkley Professor Peter Dale Scott.
So to summarise I don’t share the view of many of the black pilled truthers that believe Trump is secretly working for the same cabal that control Biden.
And I don’t believe he is some heroic figure working only for the good of the American public either.
As with many things the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

The left right paradigm is outdated
New paradigm is global vs national and: Populist vs establishment/elite
Trump is anti-globalist Populist
Brexit is also anti global populism

What is not outdated is the fact we all walking to the slaughter house. Dont mind the route.

The "a single cabal controls everything" idea is frankly fairly low IQ.
It is, as you say, cabals of various factions that mostly compete but occasionally conspire together.
For various reasons DJT prompted the majority of these factions to align together against him. Those reasons being roughly: being a political outsider + against war + independently wealthy + not blackmailed.

My friend had a Lyft passenger in 2017. Passenger was drunk and spoke about assasinating Trump. He also said that his father works in the State Department and they are actively sabotaging Trump. He said the deep state is real.
My friend was able to convince the drunk passenger that assasinating Trump would be counterproductive
One of the funniest craziest stories I have ever heard.

Nicely put. Agreed. 👍

His opponents want him dead, possibly assasinated.
Trump is definitely an outside despite being President before
His opponents tried to remove him from the ballot in many states.
The political prosecutions are very Soviet.
Stalin purged his friends and enemies because he was paranoid. He eliminated Trotsky in Mexico City. Trostky was opposition he could not control until he killed him.
