\nas from Libertarians on the Right like Thomas Massie and Rand Paul as he adds a new
\nlayer to the structure of corporate dominance already extant within the National Security State by turning to the contemporary business giants in Silicon Valley to undergird his shift towards a New Golden Age.<\/p>\n
He has dazzled many of his core base and stunned the Left with his Energizer Bunny
\nmaneuvers led by Musk’s DOGE corps. But he has mostly picked off low-hanging fruit
\nand created distractions while failing to produce substantial results in ending the wars
\nin Ukraine and Gaza or keeping his “all will be revealed” promise pertaining to transparency by releasing those secret files linked to JFK, MLK, RFK, 9\/11. Seth Rich or UFOs!<\/p>\n
His deals have at least the appearance of being self-serving to him and special interest
\ngroups lodged mostly in Silicon Valley while holding the alluring vision of future prosperity to those who have been struggling economically at least since the 2008 financial meltdown.<\/p>\n
Trump Gaza reeked of shameless self-aggrandizement and insensitivity even if it was a
\nclever gimmick to spark more active participation from the Arab nations that have fallen
\nshort of helping the beleaguered Palestinians. It is symbolic of Trump’s overall style and
\nreflects his deal making predilections that should be augmented with authentic diplomacy
\ninstead of the manipulative pragmatism that most see as bullying.<\/p>\n
There will be more to say on all this in the days ahead where hopefully he can improve
\non his pledge to end both wars within one day of assuming office and achieve greater
\ntransparency.<\/p>\n
In the interim, I believe relentless grass-roots activism is the best approach to defeating
\nthe Silicon Valley, monopolistic billionaires who, under Trump, are creating a modern
\nform of fascism with the integration of Big-Tech corporations into government structures.<\/p>\n
Perhaps then, an authentic populist party will emerge along the lines I outlined back
\nin 2016 with my call for The American Peace Party. Perhaps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15510\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
