Noam Chomsky: "Trump is a Political Genius"

[marvin martian]

What would inspire one of the most radical US leftists and arguably the leading intellectual light of his age to give the devil his due and warn against conflating Trump's antics with his accomplishments?

Chomsky is still an asshole, and always has been.

The people of this country are solely responsible for the shit ho, we've all now live in....it got this way by ignoring white racist and allowing the white man to continue his supreme reign over everybody in this country. That beast has now morphed into killing cops, oppressing minorities and raging hell on politicians. Its only when the people of this nation tire of white rule, will we as a nation come to a full democracy, until then, its bow down to racist white mf's with guns.,

Thanks for the view from Wakanda, now go back to your blunt.

He’s right. Trump accomplished a lot, but most of it was harmful to 90% of Americans. He talked like a populist, but ruled like a corporatist.

Just as the D Party claimed to be against everything Don promoted, but they then back stabbed their base by voting for Trump’s agenda.

Both Trump acolytes and haters are going to cry foul over this.

Thou shall not castigate either Trump or Biden...

Where did you pull that 90% number from, other than out of your ass?

No. From the truth. Did not the 10% do extraordinarily well under dumb Don? The .01% did amazingly well. Of course they always do well under every potus and we’ll do so under dumb Joe too.

Do you see a pattern here?

Real wages -in terms of buying power- among the working class rose for the fist time in a long time....That constitutes a lot more than .01% of the population.

Where are your hard numbers?

Trump is such a political genius that he intentionally lost the last election.

It was part of his plan all along.

He’s playing 12-dimension chess.

Yes, as I have stated he did some good things as all presidents have done. However, his deregulation, CARES Act, tax cuts for the rich did much harm. His failure to institute Medicare4all during a pandemic is damning, but he had to tow the neoliberal line.

Lol. Yeah really. He such a genius that he lost to a demented old gaffe machine with a long record of failure. He’s SMART!

 

[LordBrownTrout]

What would make him do that?....Because he's one of the precious few intellectually honest leftists remaining on the planet.

Nuttier than the entire California central valley, but intellectually honest.

Trump's destruction of the public sector and abject loyalty to the richest Americans shouldn't be obscured by his idiotic antics and clownish behavior. Maybe it's the latter that inspires his base to continue their financial support for their billionaire populist?

He didn't destroy any public sector. That's just more lies and obfuscation from a media that sends out more propaganda daily to the masses. A public that laps up this regurgitated stew as if it were nectar. Its mind blowing to watch this unfold.

There were tax cuts for almost everyone...You talk just like the Marxist OP, Mr. "libertarian/anarchist".

 

[georgephillip]

He threw them a few rhetorical bones....He managed to spit out the stale Marxist "stealing from the poor to give to the super rich" boilerplate.

When bankers advance credit to aspiring monopolists who install tollbooths and raise prices for basic needs then pay out their revenue in a tax-exempt form (interest), they keep their income out of the hands of government and shift the tax burden to labor, industry, consumers, and producers rather than finance, insurance and real estate, i.e., stale capitalist parasites.

Government becomes the protector of monopoly and its financing, thereby stealing from the poor to give to the super rich (bitches).

I suspect Americans don't know half the damage Trump inflicted during his four year reign, and a majority of Republicans will not believe the facts when they become public knowledge. For their part, Democrats have not repeatedly called out the highlights from Don the Con's rap sheet.

Democrats Must Demolish Trump’s Delusional Law-Breaking Dystopia | Ralph Nader

"Every day Trump is committing crimes and civil violations of federal law.

"Every day Trump is violating the Constitution with serious impeachable offenses (December 18, 2019, Congressional Record H-12197).

"Do the Democrats think that the American people do not care about the rule of law and observing the Constitution that are the bulwarks against destructive dictatorial power by an ego-obsessed delusional wannabe monarch?"

Hitler and Stalin were political geniuses as well.

Being imbeciles across the board, the Trump cult doesn't get that "being a political genius" and "being a competent and moral leader" are separate things.

The Left has lost the working class.
In the U.S. In the U.K, In Europe.
Trump gave hope to working class patriots across the world.

Democrats began losing union workers when Ronald Reagan slashed US union membership from around 20% of all privately employed workers to about 16%; it is substantially less than that today. Anyone who believes Trump has the slightest concern for the working class isn't paying attention.

Unions are not the property of the Democrat party, or even the Left.
There has been a switch.
Why aren't Unions protesting the importation of cheap foreign labour.
Why aren't they protesting against the Globalists and international financiers.

 

[georgephillip]

But never ever think for a minute, Trump is this genius....if you research history, you'd see that the most powerful ppl in history, all got wiped out once they lost their backup plans

Trump's "genius" is a special gift for propaganda designed to con the working class to benefit rich/corporations through tax cuts and deregulation.

Trump was Hitler! A Dictator! Thankfully he let his opponents cheat in the tens of million column, right BlueAnon Loon?

No life-long Republican fixers this time.

"But the other leverage Russia enjoyed over Trump for at least 15 years is indisputable — in fact, his family has admitted to it multiple times.

"After a series of financial reversals and his brazen abuse of bankruptcy laws, Trump found it impossible to borrow from American banks and grew heavily reliant on unconventional sources of capital. Russian cash proved his salvation.

"From 2003 to 2017, people from the former USSR made 86 all-cash purchases — a red flag of potential money laundering — of Trump properties, totaling $109 million."
