Trump represents the decay in western capitalist society. It’s the most protruding symptom of present day societal sickness, doubling down on neoliberal failures once again. Whilst we all wonder, when the majority realise the root cause is eliminating the bourgeoisie that he belongs. This lust for money/capital has to end whichever means necessary.
My biggest worry is we are running out of time, due to our environmental problems caused by consumerism and its thirst for growth in a finite world.
He’s not entirely wrong but it’s not specific to the USA and it was more about individual European nations not getting screwed by larger nations. Using Trump logic, the union of states that makes up the United States of America is there just to screw over everyone else.
