America is an imperial corporate oligarchy--masquerading as a bastion of democracy.

And Trump is the latest (controlled opposition) figure to head this American imperial oligarchy, which is comprised of Wall Street, the Military-Industrial Complex, Corporate America, and Zionism.

Trump will advance the same oligarchical agenda as the Biden Regime, which advanced the same oligarchical agenda as the first Trump Regime, which advanced the same oligarchical agenda as the Obama Regime, which advanced the same oligarchal agenda as the Bush Regime, etcetera.

The differences between these successive US regimes are either in 1). the tactics deployed to advance the same ultimate goal or 2). the Madison Avenue-style marketing campaigns deployed to pander to different voting blocs and ideological groups.

Put another away, Trump is the MAGA version of Obama's Hope and Change.

And Obama was the Hope and Change version of Trump's MAGA.

Agreed with how each oligarchal US faction tries to maintain support of their respective bases--yet their policies do not fundamentally differ.

A classic example of Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss.

Exactly. Trump represents the interests of the billionaires who paid for his election campaign. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Trump is a great con man tricking millions into believing that he will improve their lives. His first term was a complete failure in that respect and I would be willing to put money on his second term being no different.

Good summary of this three ring oligarchic circus. None of these figureheads have any real power. They are deluded, ambitious and inflated performers (chosen for those qualities), each with their own metier. Obama: Hope and "Change;" Unstable Trump MAGA Insanity; "I rule the world" Biden; "I'm speaking" Harris: "Joy?" Really? During a horrific genocide? And now unstable Trump/Musk MAGA Insanity II squared, aiming for control of the world's resources and staggering profits at any cost. Each stoking and building the fear level against "The Other" in Americans in preparation for their acquiescence to a growing police state. All, for the sake of corporate/military industrial profit and control, reeking terrible destruction and suffering abroad.
