Is this our suffering the C's talked about?

Not sure I agree with that. Suffering should be internal, not external. The more people are willing to suffer
internally, the more they learn and understand and the less likely they are to have to suffer
externally. By 'internally' I mean learning about and accepting reality AS IT IS. By 'externally' I mean as a result of external forces, suffering from which becomes more likely the less internal suffering people accept, because by doing so, they
reject reality (macro and micro) as it is, which leads them into delusion and illusion, which sets them up for external suffering, i.e. subject to the vagaries of the 'general law' and predators of all types.
They say we don't have control over external events, and that's technically true, except we do, but only by exercising the control we
do have over internal 'events'. There's a reason people choose to not suffer internally, it can be, and often is, THE hardest thing a person has ever done. But once you make the decision to do it, practice it with commitment for a while, and get used to it, it stops being suffering for the most part, especially when you realize the major benefits to your life and by extension the lives of others. That's when you can begin to 'enjoy the suffering', because you know it is deeply meaningful, purposeful and beneficial.
Seeing Trump as the "grey champion" is missing the point IMO. There is no champion in that sense. Trump served a very useful purpose: he exposed the truth of the 'deep state' for many people, or for those who are willing and able to See. When you see and accept the world as it is - both from the macro/global perspective and the micro/personal one - when you accept the internal suffering that comes with that, YOU become the 'champion', the 'hero'. And this world is in dire need of a LOT of 'champions' and 'heros' of that rather rare type.
