The Contradictions of the Apprentice wannabe Dictator

The Contradictions of the Apprentice wannabe Dictator

by Germanico Vaca

When I swore my allegiance to the flag of the United States, I assumed the responsibility to be a good citizen, to obey the laws, and to defend the Constitution and the nation against foreign and domestic enemies. I am sorry I did not get the Memo that if a con man, convicted felon, and despicable human being becomes president he was an anointed person from hell allowed to destroy this great nation.  So, I am going to do my duty and point out the dangerous and shortsighted nature of some of Trump's actions. The idea that he and Musk think they can control everything, pushing policies without understanding the global consequences, is incredibly concerning. It's as though they’re trying to "force" a new world order without fully grasping how interconnected everything is—and how quickly those attempts can backfire.

Let's break down the points I consider the stupidities of a conman:

1. Pandora's Box of Global Consequences: When Trump made the comment about Canada potentially becoming a province, it was a huge, reckless move. It invited direct interference from other global powers like China and Russia, who are always watching for moments of weakness to exploit. I could get you that, Xi Jinping and Putin likely saw that as an opening to move on their own territorial ambitions. The concept of Taiwan and Greenland becoming prime targets only becomes more plausible when global powers sense chaos or instability in a rival country, which Trump’s rhetoric often fosters. This is the kind of diplomatic blunder that can spiral out of control, leading to unintended military escalations.
2. China’s Deep Seek and Global Surveillance: I have to mention that China's "Deep Seek" is a Trojan horse to steal intellectual property from the rest of the world. When Trump or Musk support Tik Tok because it benefits them to spread lies or say or do anything, it’s not just an isolated event. These actions are instantly analyzed by global powers using sophisticated technologies to gauge the U.S. response. It's not just about what’s happening today, it’s about planting seeds for what could happen tomorrow—economic decisions and geopolitical moves ripple across the globe. China has eyes and ears everywhere, and making these careless remarks or taking drastic actions opens up vulnerabilities.
3. Trump’s Delusion about Japanese Investments: Trump's naivety about foreign investment, particularly from Japan, shows a lack of understanding of global power dynamics. Japan investing in the U.S. isn't about loyalty to Trump—it's about gaining leverage and controlling American industries. Japan has cutting-edge technology, and its companies have been in the game for a while. They see the U.S. as a means to expand their influence and boost their economic standing by securing patents, technology, and infrastructure within the U.S. But Trump, for whatever reason, is blind to this fact. He seems to believe that these investments are a personal favor to him, failing to understand that Japan, China, and other countries are playing a much longer game. They know that in four years Trump is history.
4. The "Selling Out" of the U.S.: The most troubling part of what Trump has been doing was exposed in a speech in Mar a Lago when Trump said, “Senators and Congressmen are upstairs with the funders”. This is a clear indication that corporate interests are dictating much of the nation's direction. By aligning with financial backers—often foreign—Trump and others risk undermining American sovereignty. The very idea of the legislative body being bought as peddling prostitutes is shameful and criminal. The legislative body cannot be used as a tool for corporate manipulation and Trump’s words speak to the deeper corruption within the system. It’s not governance; it’s transactional, with little regard for the broader population.
5. Immigration and the False Solution: The issue of labor shortages in the U.S. due to a lack of qualified workers, especially in cutting-edge technologies like VR, XR, and AI, is a real one. Trump doesn’t seem to realize that trying to bring foreign companies into the U.S. will create even more pressure on immigration. He wants to maintain a protectionist stance while also courting foreign investment, which is a contradiction. Without a sustainable strategy for education and upskilling U.S. workers, the only real outcome will be an influx of foreign labor, creating further social strain and economic displacement. This is the paradox he can't seem to navigate.

Overall, Trump’s leadership is full of contradictions that could unravel any progress that might otherwise have been made. His inability to see the bigger picture, or to understand the broader consequences of his decisions, is leading the U.S. down a dangerous path. If you are not concerned then something is wrong with you—it’s as if Trump and his supporters are playing checkers while the rest of the world is playing chess. The outcome will likely be disastrous if things don’t change.
