Successive governments from say the Daddy Bush and Clinton eras have used the US diplomatic, military and intelligence apparatus to push the US into conflicts, trade deals and an attempt at an international system of government directly antithetical to American national interests, but useful for various international “governments “, essentially organized crime syndicates. This is essentially a slow moving coup, and it is still continuing with the Biden administration.
Trumps very first moves were executive orders to unilaterally pull the US out of the TPP and TTIP. These were Obama era deals which had undone twenty years of WTO negotiations in order to enable Volkswagen the control of American industry. You don’t issue executive orders like these and survive unless you have the backing of a serious bunch of people in the establishment.
