Donald Trump, a widely used impersonation of the corporate evil, decided to run for President.
The Wall Street already has its hand deep up the government’s bottom. Revolving doors, lobbying, financial power overcoming the political one. Perhaps the politicians with the most modest campaigns are the ones to be voted for, being less corrupt and the least dependant on corporate investments. Look, it is already there - just not in your face. Not like it will be when Donald becomes President.
Trump has a clear agenda in his head: only personal gain for the United States. Brutally cold and rational. Business. If the troops go into a country – then it is to find oil, not to help people. Not like this wasn’t happening already… Now, there are two dangers in making what’s hidden explicit. Legitimization and eventual progression.
Another way to look at the issue is that Donald’s mindset is just reflective of the upcoming times. The times when US will lose its economic power to Asia, polarization finishes dismantling into a simple imprint in history, and US loses its world leadership. No longer will it be seen as a father whose duty will be to protect the people with its military power. That duty will transgress elsewhere, while US can afford to do what other countries have done so far – follow personal pursuits and pretend to care in the annual diplomatic meetings.
Maybe, Donald is not the Messiah that will lead US through a tough transition and hierarchal degradation. Maybe he just sees following national pursuits by the means of brute force as the means of getting US respect, the respect he mentioned it is beginning to lose. Yet history shows that bullies are not respected, they are feared and commonly despised.
I am not a US citizen but if I would be, I wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump. Yet what’s the difference. The lustrous campaigns do not see to bring good change anyways.
