We’d been in and out of crisis with the DPRK all during the Obama era, thanks to their restart of nuclear testing and long range missile testing. That’s in no small part thanks to Obama inheriting Bush Era Pentagon officials, rather than shitcanning them on day one.
and coup’d Bolivia
The MAS party resigned itself out of office and handed the keys to a Social Democrat. Possibly the stupidest thing a party leadership has done since Allende appointed Pinochet as General Chief of Staff of the Army. That wasn’t Trump’s magic fingers, it was an own-goal by Bolivian national government which the US pounced on in their moment of weakness.
he gets the most donors and the largest and most right-wing ones too
He’s been far less successful at fundraising than his predecessors, in large part thanks to Citizen’s United fracturing the old PAC coalitions and letting every billionaire run around doing his or her own pet project. But he’s brought in a ton of new voters that guys like Romney and McCain failed to engage.
“Populism” isn’t a political philosophy, it’s a rhetorical tact, and one that most Republicans and some Democrats take. It’s not to be confused for an idea like “popular rule”.
The fixture that backs him is largely scammers and rubes, stacked one on top of the other, in an oversized shit sandwich.
Trump can glad-hand Kim Jung Un and his base will clap. He can bomb Korea and they’ll clap. It’s pure cult of personality.
Donor focus is more a Biden thing. Trump does what he thinks will feed of popular base, and the donors follow him.
It’s what really separates an insider from a populist.
Trump literlaly started a crisis with the DPRK and coup’d Bolivia while I was in the country lol
A fascist uprising at that.
“Donor focus”
is more of a Trump thing and he gets the most donors and the largest and most right-wing ones too.

“We’d been in and out of crisis with the DPRK all during the Obama era”
And Trump did the same lol
“The MAS party resigned itself out of office”
No, it was forced to resign by the military. I saw guards outside the palace. Get outta here.
“He’s been far less successful at fundraising than his predecessor”
Actually, no, even Sheldon Adelson donated more compared to most candidates.
“populist”
which Trump isn’t
