I can't help but think that there is a deliberate effort to remove the US from it's position in the global geopolitical arena. And not merely as a by-product of policy decisions but specifically to damage the American reputation.

Dumpty's loyalty is with whoever will give him the most money and power as a person. Always has been.

Maybe money but clearly not power. The American voting population gave him more power than pretty much anyone in many senses of the word “power,” yet he’s clearly not loyal to the American voting population.

So I think money or wealth is the bigger weight here.

Or he's just... ya'know... stupid.

The American voting population was manipulated to give him power. The ones which helped with manipulation are effectively in control.

Or do you think all the wedge issues organically crystallized in voters' minds?..

Also accurate. There is an election coming up. First Tuesday in November. Has been since 1845. After a certain number of votes, it's difficult to deny otherwise. It doesn't have to be for or against anyone. Just needs to be a vote for a better United States of America.

Accurate observation.

I can’t tell if the world how it is right now in 2026 is the way because this book’s plan went so well, or just dumb luck.
