US President Donald Trump delivered a fascist rant Tuesday to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in which he proclaimed “America First” should be the world’s organizing principle, threatened war and aggression the world over, and lionized the criminal actions of his administration at home and abroad.
He attacked both America’s ostensible allies and states long in Washington’s military-strategic crosshairs in a meandering speech that lasted almost triple his allotted time.
Trump reveled in displaying his disdain and contempt for international law, making clear that Washington will accept no restraints on the ruthless assertion of its imperialist interests, whether through trade war, assassinations, regime-change operations or global war.
No, they won’t. Don’t forget that Trump was dumped by Murdoc for a short while, and the Republicans tried setting up alternative candidates instead of Trump, but none of them worked, because Trump has the Republican voterbase in his pocket. Vance doesn’t have that, and is in fact seen as a bit of a laughing stock even among MAGA cultists.
Trump rules the Republican party with an iron fist because he has shown that the voters won’t abandon him. Noone else in the party has that kind of hold, and it is very interesting what will happen when Trump dies. Fragmentation seems an obvious answer, but it is impossible to predict. Either way Vance probably won’t be among the finalists.
