Comrade Trump
From the highest forum of the international community, the heads of state of France, Jordan, Turkey and Spain — all U.S. allies — expressed repudiation of the Palestinian genocide perpetrated by Israel, as did leaders of nations with lesser ties to Washington, such as Lula da Silva of Brazil. And while murderer Benjamin Netanyahu barked at a half-empty hall, an expression of American society’s growing rejection of that genocide marched through the streets of New York and was suppressed.
In what should be a symbol of coexistence, dialogue and collaboration, Donald Trump threatened to annihilate an entire country and self-servingly slandered Mexico; the true epicenters, driving forces and instigators of drug trafficking are the United States and its government. He advocated the employment of extrajudicial execution, military aggression and illegal intervention in other countries and outright plunder as tools to promote democracy and what he calls “civilization.”
For context, contrast Trump’s promise — his threat — to impose Washington’s dominion over this hemisphere with his incessant aggression toward the most important of his continental partners, Canada and Mexico, as well as toward Latin America’s largest economy, Brazil. As a result of this aggression, the government in Ottawa has already decided to strengthen ties with the European Union and loosen them with its southern neighbor.
Or take the White House master’s stubborn determination to destroy his country’s presence and influence in the Middle East by prolonging a war that is clearly lost. In this way, he is absurdly delaying an inevitable defeat. The war against Iran has made it clear that, in facing the Islamic Republic, large U.S. aircraft carriers serve little purpose other than making life a living hell for their crews. Furthermore, the military bases on the Arabian Peninsula in Jordan and in Iraq are far more vulnerable than previously thought. Plus, when confronted with a growing shortage of anti-ballistic weapons, the Pentagon has had no choice but to drain resources from Japan, South Korea, Europe and Ukraine in order to transport costly and difficult-to-manufacture munitions to the Middle East. Moreover, if Trump has been blackmailing his European allies into getting involved in the conflict, it is mainly because the U.S. Navy, in an arrogant and reckless pursuit of modernization, withdrew its minesweepers (Avenger and Independence classes) and sought to replace them with a Swiss Army knife called the Littoral Combat Ship — which, in theory, serves many purposes, but in practice, serves none at all.
Trump promised to avoid wars, yet he has become involved in a particularly disastrous one. He promised to keep gas prices low, yet he has managed to raise them to distressing levels. He offered to create jobs, yet between 2024 and 2026, unemployment of the economically active population rose from 3.9% to 4.1% (peaking at 4.4% last year). He threatened Iran with a devastating economic war and then declared war on the U.S. economy. He had his face minted on the commemorative edition of a $1 coin — even though the law prohibits it — and placed his name on the cultural center before that of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, for whom it was named. Then, he also tried to rename the Strait of Hormuz after himself, even though no DNA tests are required to determine that it is not his child.
As a result of all that and more, Trump’s approval rating among the general public has fallen to a historic low of 32%, and last week, that same figure among Republicans slipped from 82% to 73%.
Significantly, due to the increasingly hostile tone of Marco Rubio toward the Cuban blockade, support for that policy has declined over the past two years, falling from 32% to the current 28%. All this, and only six weeks before the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
To complete the picture, the loudmouth finds himself in imminent danger of losing his majority in both chambers and facing impeachment; thus, he must try to suspend those elections. It would be unprecedented, but so was the coup attempt he orchestrated on Jan. 6, 2021, to avoid being removed from the White House.
All things considered, no one has ever done more than Trump to end U.S. global hegemony, reduce Washington’s influence in the world and undermine the power of the presidency in the United States. Perhaps it is time to reflect, to view the man from a new angle, and to begin to recognize him as the greatest champion of all against imperialism. Perhaps when he leaves office, he will claim credit for these immense achievements and finally identify himself — after decades of living as an infiltrator — as a progressive and proclaim, “You have been mistaken. All this time I have been on your side. I am the most radical of all the Antifas: I am Comrade Trump.”
