Trump doesn’t hide behind the hypocrisy and bullshit that are the stock-in-trade of most politicians. Just like everyone else in the American political establishment, he’s all-in on the empire. From Hugo Dionísio at strategic-culture.su:
Everything that the Democratic Party and its followers try so hard to hide from the people… is no longer secret
The reactions of astonishment, repudiation and some discomfort that have spread through the mainstream press regarding Donald Trump’s statements about taking Greenland by force, the Panama Canal and even Canada, mostly suffer from the most shameless hypocrisy, huge doses of delusion and unacceptable ignorance, especially on the part of those who make it their business to tell others what to think, assuming that they are in possession of an above-average level of information.
Given what has been the behavior of the United States of America, its presidents, sovereign bodies and those that act as its main tentacles, within and beyond its borders – I’m talking about multinational corporations and NGOs – , what is different about Donald Trump’s behavior? Is this a new attitude from a U.S. president?
Are we back to the days of “political incorrectness” or lack of politeness, masks used to create the idea that the U.S. elite is preocupied with others claims.., complies with international law and respects the sovereignty of other nations? Do we have to watch another replay of the moralistic parade that characterized Trump’s first term in office, even if they all ended up not only doing things similar to what he said but, more importantly, not undoing what was done by him?
Donald Trump, as we’ll see later, is simply giving voice and body to the power he thinks and somehow knows he has in his hands, doing so in the most direct, pragmatic and brutal way. Which has been the way of many throughout U.S. history. Including Biden. Trump does everything he can to present himself as the “real deal”, rather than the “political correctness” that characterizes the equally barbaric liberal and neoliberal attitude. Under Trump we can all access the privilege of seeing the empire in all its brutality and viscerality, without behavioral masks, without emotional filters

LMFAO at Don Jr. calling Zelensky a weirdo.
Das Teevee is showing the Clintons and other esteemed CPUSA (D) party members at the inauguration shindig.
Then we can take Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal on the Moscow by spring Tehran by summer tour.
