I have long thought Trump was a reincarnation of Loki. The Lord of Misrule seems a very apt title. He has said he puts out wacky social media posts because it gets the hysterical hysterical. Which is true and would be a clever move if he then got on and did the things he said he would do whilst the hystericals were hand wringing at dumb tweets. But actually, the man has shown himself to be only interested in the Donald Trump Show. He's clearly nice to his family, friendly to the people he meets, interested in what they have to say. But that's it. No real plans, policies, ideas. Whatever the truth about Epstein may be, I don't think Trump cares - he's obviously not on the list or the Democrats would have spilled it and he clearly doesn't think it's very important, what with all rich men apparently being sexual perverts. He totally misunderstands Putin - like every other western leader does - and clearly doesn't realise it's a border dispute/cousin punching exercise which would have been all over years ago without American interference. So, he's better than Kamala would have been but he's a waste of space where saving western democracy and freedom is concerned. I despair of all of them - self-serving narcissists full of hubris and totally blind to what they are bringing down on us all.

Trump is infinitely better than Biden. For a start he has cancelled the Net Zero hoax and has withdrawn from the Paris Accord and the plandemic-enabling WHO. He is striving against huge opposition to “drain the swamp”, with a major success in shutting down the corrupt USAID. He is also championing freedom of speech.

He was too optimistic on Ukraine when he pulled the plug on the game the USA has been playing since the Berlin Wall came down of deliberately goading Russia by pushing Nato eastwards, not realising that the nutters in Europe and the UK would insist on trying to impose impossible ceasefire terms and fighting on to the last Ukrainian. Not in my name. Trump is almost at the point of walking away to leave the nutters to it, e.g. by insisting that Nato pay for all armaments and not sending any long-range missiles.

The situation in Iran was allowed to fester for decades thanks to the ineptitude of Obama, Biden and the EU.

While I agree with a lot of your assessment, I fear you are too optimistic. There have been some successes but, at current trajectory, I strongly worry that his presidency will end up in utter disaster.

It’s early days yet in Trump 2.0 and I’m finding it difficult to distinguish your commentary from that of the bought-and-paid-for MSM’s knee-jerk Trump Derangement Syndrome disparagement driven by the establishment deep state’s fear that Trump will dismantle their corrupt hegemony. They tried using fake lawfare to imprison him and when that failed, they tried and failed to assassinate him.

For background, I campaigned against the climate change hoax for decades but only realised the full evil of the deep state establishment through their Covid “plandemic”. I am proud to have posted a summary of Dr Reiner Fuellmich’s 2022 Covid-19 Crimes Against Humanity model trial here: https://metatron.substack.com/p/reiner-fuellmichs-grand-jury-court.

It looks as if Trump has seen through the machinations of his opponents and outflanked them again by seeking to release the testimony of the 2019 Epstein Grand Jury, subject to court approval, as explained in this Jeff Childers commentary: https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/honeypot-friday-july-18-2025-c-and.

“And this probably wouldn’t have been politically possible, absent the Democrats’ recent demands for transparency while they were drunk on scandal momentum.”

The only consolations remain that (a) it could have been a lot worse and (b) electoral terms in the USA are short, oh and (c) compared to Sir Keir ...

If Trump had to ask why people were still tallking about Epstein then he is too stupid to be president - he has now shown it, among many other instances. How depressing and angry Americans must feel in voting for him.

As the USA spools up for the 250th anniversary of independence in 2026, I think there will be more apparent 'made up' policy. The aim, with less than 6 months to 2026 is all about the optics for the domestic audience.

English is spoken internationally, but understanding of English speaking nations can often be very different.

A question I asked myself when he won the election: Why did They allow him a second term? I am starting to see why! He likes doing deals and he has done a big one to have his second term.

Interesting perspective. Hadn't thought of that.
