Trump’s Toxic Toolkit: Lies, Corruption, Idiocy, Loyalty, Propaganda
As for idiocy: some authoritarian leaders in history were intelligent men, but that doesn’t matter. Anyone with an army and police forces and a propaganda network behind him can be made to appear intelligent. But intelligence is hardly a prerequisite. In fact, it’s a little better if the dear chef is stupid, because then his simple idiocy can be modeled by the propaganda team to make it look like an esoteric genius.
Trump is therefore making a full ass on the world scene on prices. He obviously has no idea what he is doing. Canada, Brazil, Copper! Liberation day. Oops, not the day of the release! A deadline of July 9 becomes August 1 (and of course, he never said on July 9!). However, the trot secretary of Trot Karoline Leavitt and the treasurer Scott Bessent to make sure that everything will plan, and Trump plays a multidimensional chess game that we cannot start to follow.
Leavitt, besse and so many others illustrate loyalty, which must be total and cover everything, embarrassing rhetorical genuflection of “random” choice, by its male members, to wear a red tie to work today and let it hang below the belt a little lower than usual. At the FBI, employees are forced to pass polygraph tests, they are sometimes asked if they are faithful to Kash Patel (lateral note: polygraphs are notoriously unreliable, and the federal law prohibits most private employers to use them on employees). In a decision that did not draw much attention at the time, on May 29, Trump published a federal job plan demanding all candidates above the GS-5 level (that is to say people) write a try Describing the new politicians they were eager to implement.
Finally, nothing would work without the propaganda network. It guarantees that a large part of the population believes at any time the opposite of the truth. It is Trump’s enemies who lie tirelessly. It is the Democrats who are corrupt (and of course, some are, but not in principle, like Trump). Trump is actually a genius. And loyalty is not required but is in fact a natural consequence of reality that Trump is the most truthful, most honest, straight and brightest leader in American history. Probably the history of the world.
