The Danny jones podcast recently featured Catherine fitts. A lot of what she says makes sense, but she randomly throws in the line “trump was inserted by the bankers to gain control”. She says it was because other people were “taking too long”. This is at the timestamp 1:29:19. She provides no information in regards to this claim and it immediately makes me suspect of her.
My question is do you think she misinformed or is she a total shill?
A lot of what she says is factually true, when it comes to her role as a cog in the machine, and what she witnessed and experienced in those roles. But I think her view on Trump may be just that, a personal view. However, there is the possibility that she's correct which is a reason why I don't fully trust Trump or any other politician. He IS a politician now, and in a lot of ways, has been his whole life. You don't become NY's most successful building developer without working in the world of politics, AND also being slightly dirty. Absolutely nobody becomes a billionaire without greasing the palms of the corrupt in order to get what you want, which makes the billionaire inherently corrupt themselves. And absolutely nobody gets into the world of politics, successfully, without taking money from "questionable" people. That has been the way of the world for far longer than most of humanity realizes.
Do I think Trump is ultimately beneficial to the U.S. specifically, and to the world in general? Yes, I do. However, he did take money from some extremely shady sources, which makes him beholden to those sources. He's willing to work deals with the worst of humanity, as we've recently seen in Syria, which makes his moral code compromised. He also hasn't stopped the funding of Taliban/AQ/IS in Afghanistan, not has he tasked any of our SMUs to hunt down those members already here in the U.S.
No one here should be fully trusting of any politician or bureaucrat.
But that's my own opinion. I do acknowledge that Trump is far better than 99.9999 % of the rest of the billionaire and political classes, for what that's worth.
