>"Haitians," Trump said. We don't need more Haitians." (...) He had just met with the prime minister of Norway. Why not more Norwegians? Or Asians who could help the economy? Durbin was sickened. Graham was floored. "Time out," Graham said, signaling for a halt with his hands. "I don't like where this thing's going."
The book is advertised and pereceived as yet another hit-piece on the Bad Orange Man and his insane antics. But in fact, it's an extensive report on how virtually the entirety of Trump's advisors and White House staff conspired to systematically undermine, neutralize or invert any and all of his anti-establishment notions. Aside from his Zionist stance on Israel, Trump had many common sense convictions on trade, immigration, taxation, jobs, foreign policy, security etc. that were totally contrary to both the Democrat and Republican as well as the Jewish oligarchy's interests - but he lacked the intellectual capacity and expertise to transform them into actionable policy or legislature. His staff outright stole whatever material they deemed harmful off the resolute desk, tricked him into appointing officials who vehemently opposed his policies, and bombarded him with establishment talking points 24/7. This is portrayed as sensible and heroic activism in the book, of course. Occasionally, Trump would vent by firing someone which his team would immediately exploit by bringing in an even bigger shill. Any Forums likes to paint Trump as this great betrayer, when in reality, he was simply too stupid or lazy to surround himself with professionals who actually shared his anti-establishment beliefs. Under these circumstances, it's miraculous that Trump accomplished the few positive things he did, like ending the Afghanistan war.
Okay, gramps. We all know Trump foolishly surrounded himself with backstabbing kikes and never learned from his mistakes the entire 4 years he was in office. I don't need to read a gay book to know Trump was an ineffective and incompetent leader. But thanks for posting.

Trump is retarded, we know this. He pardoned nigger rappers who joked about killing him, but didn't pardon a single one of his supporters.
interesting to hear this, id assumed he was gimped somewhat, such as with that fucking insane general that disclosed top secret info to china and promised to give them warning if trump planned to attack them - should of been court martialed for that or worse. would be interesting to hear the extent of it

Sure, but it's still fascinating to read how it actually happened, and devastating when you realize the full extent of lost opportunities and wasted potential. It's like a Greek tragedy. Just look at this:
>Another matter was withdrawing the United States from TPP(...). During the transition several people had Told Trump that he didn't have to do it on day one. It was a little more complicated. It ought to be discussed. "No way, no how," Trump said. "This was on the campaign. We're not backing off this. We're signing it. Draw it up." He signed the papers to formally withdraw on January 23, the first full weekday of his presidency. (p. 149)
Most of Any Forums has come to believe that Trump was just another stooge and don't realize how much of a political aberration he truly was. The book here paints it as an atrocity that a US president dared to actually make good on one of his promises and put the wishes of his voters above the desires of the political establishment and refused to adhere to their procedures and principles. This is important, because if Trump were to be re-elected in 2024 that would entail (contrary to Any Forumss current belief) a 2nd opportunity for fundamental and systemic changes to the US political system. All that needs to be done in principle, is to set up Trump with a team of competent people that actually work for him, rather than against him. This is a much less difficult problem than getting a political outsider elected president and therefore we know it's achievable.

Jeremiah Sanders
this Trump literally kept on Obama goons in many agencies and filled his entire cabinet with all the establishment goons that people hated more than Democrats even. he also let Ivanka and Jared have free reign to turn his last two years into nigger worship central while abandoning every single voter who won him the election to begin with. Trump is done as politician

All that needs to be done in principle, is to set up Trump with a team of competent people that actually work for him, rather than against him. It would just be another squandered opportunity. Who's going to set him up with this better team? Trump? Because he's already proven over and over he's incapable of doing this during his 4 years. Are the people surrounding him going to do it? No, they would just set him up with more people like themselves. Trump's a lost cause. He may have had good intentions, but he didn't fully have what it takes. And now that his admin retardedly ignored prophylaxes to focus on an unprecedented quick-fix vaccine solution to the pandemic, resulting in the maiming and deaths of white people everywhere, Trump has left a horribly bad taste in many people's mouth. He's not the way forward.

The book is totally crazy. It's 500 pages long and on every single page Trump either does something based or he gets stabbed in the back by one of his people (it's like a 1:3 ratio). He's very open to attack because he's so disorganized. For instance, on one page one of his staff would bring up a policy and Trump would give him specific directions to "write up a draft for X" and then as soon as the guy steps out of the Oval Office, one of the higher-up staffers grabs him and transfers him to another department so Trump's policy is nullified. Then Trump forgets about it and 3 motnhs later he asks "Where's that guy, I told him to do X" and they just tell him "I'm not sure, must be around here somewhere." and Trump forgets again and just like that the policy is dead for good. Then later Trump wonders why nothing gets done and why he has made barely any progress on his campaign promises.
It's like that one article from some time ago where they basically openly confess that there was a vast criminal conspiracy to rig the 2016 election and they brag about how successfull it was - only it's a 500 page chronicle of an entire legislative period. It's so fucking insane. They're so blatant and self-righteous about it, it makes your skin crawl.
Julian Ramirez
You're implying that he was acting with malicious intent, when very obviously, he was just totally clueless and didn't know any better. He desperately needed another outsider, like Bannon for instance, to explain to him in very simple terms that he would never get anything done with a poorly assembled team, right after his victory.
Nolan Bennett
He was too lazy. He spend half his time watching Fox News and writing edgy twitter comments. He would need some administrative genius around him, he himself isnt capeable of it.
No. It would have completely sufficed to have 3-5 sympathetic professionals in his top positions to draw up policies based on his campaign promises and then having him sign off on them. Some related to complicated issues, like international trade, but many were very straightforward, like immigration: end illegal crossings along the Mexican border and re-allign immigration policy from charity for 3rd world nations towards a merit-based system focused on Europe and Asia. Simple. It just needed to be formalized so it would be palatable to the senate Republicans, and it could have passed. Just this one policy could have completely transformed the US for decades to come.

This is why we're better off with DeSantis next time around. DeSantis may not be as instinctually radical as Trump... and he may even have to do a couple favors for rich donors... but he won't get sidetracked by his bureaucrats they won't sway him.
Andrew Ward
Tell me about DeSantis, what's his plan?
Adam Walker
If you still have faith in trump or your government in any capacity... oh boy. Look frens, google corporate capture - that is what happened, it's over.
Brayden Thompson
More of a details nerd than Trump but mostly agrees with Trump on things.
Also Trump was stupid enough to get genuinely fooled by Covid, don't think DeSantis ever was (though badly enough he went along with it for a couple of months).
Dominic Bennett
>"Time out," Graham said, signaling for a halt with his hands. "I don't like where this thing's going." oy vey, someone shut him down!
Trump is fucked on Covid because he signed off on state-funding for the vaccine development and considers them a personal accomplishment. Questioning Covid on a fumdamental level would, in his mind, would udermine this accomplishment, so it can't happen. It's one of the instances where his narcicism really works against him in a bad way.
Jackson Rivera
It's one of the staff's major tactics. Every time there's a discussion where Trump reaches a contentious point, they simply disengage and wait for him to get distracted by something else, then rush in to remove any papetrail or get rid of any sympathetic low-level staffers that could help Trump build towards a policy. Trump never breaks the cycle because he perceives these staffers as incompetent or 'disloyal' at worst and doesn't realize they're quite literally hostile agents.
