Both were terrible presidents ... But Trump kind of appeals to a certain type. And America's got a lot of that type. But these individuals as hard as you try not to think, they are the proletariat, they are the oppressed. This is just how capitalism and crisis expresses itself through populism and then fascism. ♪ ♪ All these isms are just distractions from American foreign policy, which is imperialistic and oppressive. And it doesn't respect other nations sovereignty, or rules based order...either Biden or Trump or Bush or Obama or whatever. Trump is different in that he's going after the deep state which is really just his opponents to his style of management and his policies either way it serves the rich just like Biden. I've been on this planet enough to see the cycles. It's the good cop, bad cop strategy. And they're going to do that when they drop nukes on Iran. They're going to act like they're disgusted by Israel's war-mongering. at the same time they're calling the shots from behind the line. You will witness nuclear weapons used in your lifetime.
