We all need to stop thinking about Trump as if he's a politician
He's a content creator. He totally understands the attention economy, and he gives people what they want. The instability, the madness, the cruelty of it all....that is the point, not as a means to an end, but as the end itself. While at the same time using the full power of the presidency and the US state to enrich himself, his family and his associates beyond anyone's wildest dreams. All safe in the knowledge that we're all too busy focusing on whatever outrageous thing he said/tweeted today to follow the money.
This is what the public wants - performers. At least in the US. Probably here too, as Farage and Tice are exactly the same.
If they form the next government, they'll set about ramming through the most insane, toxic sets of policies you've ever seen - not to achieve anything, but just because you need constant control of the news cycle. At the same time, they'll dismantle checks and balances everywhere, and start dolloping out our cash to themselves and their mates as fast as they can.
Why is Christopher Harborne bankrolling Farage and Reform like he is? It's because he knows that if you strip back just a few institutions and change a few laws, he'll be able to extract vast amounts of money out of the UK and its citizens.
When everyone comes to their senses, all of them will be in , laughing their cocks off.
