*If history is any guide, legacy media is the last place one should look for the truth about what is actually occurring behind the scenes. Political insiders routinely obfuscate, misdirect, and outright lie to journalists who are more than happy to report things they know perfectly well aren’t true. The story exists because “sources” said it, too often with little attention paid to the veracity of what is being claimed. What Trump, Putin, and Modi discussed during those limousine rides is undoubtedly historic, but years will likely pass before their true nature becomes known—if it ever does.*

*you give AI all your precise information that serves people who don't want you to be free. You give away your way of thinking, your habits, your data, your worries and weaknesses, some even give away the ways in which you keep your money like bitcoin and properties. This is ammunition for dictators and corporations who want to guide slaves into a way of thinking and remove from society those they think are dangerous*

*When you strip away the outrage related to Trump's personality and ego you are left with minor shifts. I mean, yeah when your world view is about as wide as a pencil he's extreme but when you view the whole of political though he's pretty mild.
I can't shake the sense that this is more about defending the elite. The system. The deep state. The status quo. Whatever term you are comfortable with.
I'm not convinced Trump isn't owned by these groups but the reactions to him are more telling than anything he has done.*
