@PopulistRight @greyknight @RR I am not sure what to say - if you see a binary system, no arguments for a multivariable system will be compelling because it would mean thinking in a different mode

you perceive Trump as a person making rational decisions with a favored faction - I perceive a Trump regime with many competing factions with opposing goals and vendettas and levels of awareness

nothing I say about Trump the regime will make sense in the context of a Trump the person mindset
