From the Net:

Trump has no real values at all, he thinks everything is just a negotiation (devoid of any moral considerations), and he projects this mentality on to every situation irrespective of the context. He has no understanding of a broader moral or civilizational context.

It’s hard to understand things when you don’t read books; Trump relies on an almost neo-reptilian sense of weakness, fear, ego, and greed. Personally, I think he perfectly represents the true American spirit of success through slavery, stolen land, murder and grift.

Settler colonialism, just making the original inhabitants “disappear”. great legacy.

Possibly true, interesting:

Trump has learned “business” from NYC Jewry; he exemplifies this approach, where doing business invariably means suckering, pressuring, or outright cheating the other side into a loss. This is all these grifters are capable of: you must strong-arm, blackmail, or con whoever you do “business” with, or else there is no business.

Neither Trump nor his hoodlum mentors are even capable of conceiving of any other way; the Russian attempts at working out an honest solution are and will continue to be rejected. Any agreement must necessarily involve tricking the other side into submitting to defeat. That is “the art of the deal”, and Trump firmly believes himself to be a superbly skillful “artist”.

Now if the business partner were to declare in outrage: “You are a con, I will not do any business with you,” and break negotiations, the con artist would apologize and come up with a slightly less outrageous con as a way of luring the partner back to the table. But the Russians do not do this; on the contrary, they declare that they are always open to further negotiations, no matter what. The grifter interprets this to mean that the sucker is not aware of being suckered, has no spine, and is “asking for it”. So, rather than toning down, he continues with ever more outrageous demands.

Add the Italian mob, which was still very strong in Trump’s formative years and which he no doubt had to deal with a lot being in the real estate business, as a key influence.

Donnie has successfully brainwashed the US into believing things are done for American benefit when in fact they are done for the benefit of Donnie’s ego and the Jews.

*******

Trump’s just a stooge for Israel and the MIC. He’s an actor, a pompous buffoon, and a failed businessman who almost lost his shirt and was bailed out by the Russian mob early in his career in New York real estate. Trump specializes in staged theatrics just like World Wrestling which he was part of. That never changed. And he always dances to the tune of his handlers. He owes them.

Trump is the ultimate posturing bullshiter.

How about Trump? He just declared to the world that signatures on papers mean nothing at all. The legitimacy of the signatories is not relevant. We already knew that no ‘deal’ with America was worth the paper it was written on.

A correct analysis of capitalism by the way.

Principles are BS to Trump because he has none. His “principle” is self-interest. He is a protege of Roy Cohn, one of the mob’s top lawyers. Read about him. Roy was a despicable character. His mere gaze was that of a basilisk. Rules, laws, and principles are not guides to behavior; they’re weapons to be manipulated. Words are not representations of reality; they are weapons in a game.

Putin is a serious lawyer. He believes laws and agreements represent the framework for policy and action. This is inconceivable to a mobster like Trump – a cynic for whom every man has a price and can be manipulated by some combination of crass reward and fear.

Incidentally, though Trump is the perfect representative of Capitalist America, he is not alone in his mob “values.” They are shared by virtually every member of the Western elite. Capitalism eats values and culture for breakfast and excretes them in neat packages for sale. It replaces them with seductive images, consumerism, unhinged individualism, and petty self-interest. Notions of common prosperity, the greater good, and a wider allegiance to community are comic in a society driven by profit…or as Trump would put it, “Bullshit.”
