I pretty much agree with you both, although ferret I think Trump is a lot smarter than given credit. I think he was naive in his first term, he’s from a generation when we just didn’t think the government would lie to us or was all bad. They said the Pledge of Allegiance and had the Ten Commandments in classrooms. People treated each other better, most of the country were at least “cultural Christians” in that there were certain rules they all lived by. Men still had a semblance of honor – even some politicians. My mom is a little older than Trump, she can’t see the truth because of her inability to believe that she is manipulated by propaganda – of the left. She grew up with the likes of Walter Cronkite, back when journalists actually reported news, didn’t give us their opinions about it, or repeat verbatim what the government told them.
Trumps idea of going back to tariffs is genius, I didn’t realize that’s what we did all the way up to Eisenhower. Then came Kennedy, and the CIA and military industrial complex became the Globalists arm of the US. Straight downhill from there. Listen to Eisenhower’s departure speech, he warned the country this was happening.
Turns out though, they’ve been lying to us for a lot longer than even the last 70 years or so. The difference is that a lot have awakened to it now, and it’s shocking. our country is a disgrace, and you’re right, the deep state is cornered. God has a plan, we’ll have to wait to find out what it is.
