As has been obvious from the outset, Donald is not a ‘Kremlin puppet’. With him today vowing to pull out of a nuclear deal with Russia (INF), and with Politico reporting that the Mueller investigation has basically led nowhere, that official conspiracy theory can surely finally die, (though its proponents will of course face no comeuppance and will continue to earn $$$ propagandizing for corporate media).
What Trump IS, is a puppet of corporate, Neoconservative USA - and an even more easy-to-control puppet than Obama, it seems. But without Obama’s ‘liberal’ (pro-LGBT, feminist, pro-choice) mask.
The system/ruling elite pulling the strings of every US President seek no less than total global domination. As well as being an embarrassment to the US brand, and thus a hindrance to continued US imperialism, Trump initially showed some signs that he would go against this system - professing a desire for better relations with Russia, threatening to pull out of Syria - so an unhinged ‘red-scare’ was recreated, with outlandish allegations of Trump-Putin ‘collusion’, so as to topple this unmasked face of America, or at least to bring him into line and prevent any possibility of a more peaceful relationship with Russia. Any apparent attempt by Trump to seek a better relationship with Russia - or even just to meet with Putin - was met with cries of ‘Putin puppet!’ from the corporate media. (Whether Trump ever actually wanted better relations with Russia, I doubt).
The puppeteers almost had the predictable, reliably militaristic, ‘liberal’ Hillary Clinton, to oversee their continued imperial pursuits, corporate rule, and ever-expanding Orwellian control of society, but instead they got an embarrassing, overtly inhumane buffoon, who is completely destroying any illusion of the US as a bastion of humanity and freedom in the world. And who also, unfortunately (for us), is proving to be even more dangerous than those before him.
We need an anti-war movement. And we need to overthrow our neoliberal capitalist system (aka corporate dictatorship) that will not and cannot accept a multi-polar world order. It would rather drive us to total destruction than accept this, either via environmental devastation/climate-change, or via nuclear war with other powers (Russia/China), as it continues to spread like a disease throughout the world.
We need to give power back to the people. How propagandised have we been to believe that a system of perpetual growth and profit (for those at the top) is good and sustainable for our little planet? Trump is just a product of this system. It’s time to reverse our doomed trajectory and put people and planet before corporate profit!
