Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

[Nathan]

I found this post by Simplicius concerning Trump meeting Xi to be interesting. Simplicius is particularly critical of Trump, although he does give him the benefit of the doubt where possible. I’ll share some bits below:

Trump-Xi Face Off for All the Marbles in South Korea

Yesterday, the long-awaited meeting between Trump and Xi finally took place in South Korea.

The fact of the matter is that the posturing with China is really all about obscuring the US’s economic demise, while also gaining leverage, sabotaging, and undercutting China as much as possible. This is because the US political class has no answers at all for its own failing economy, and thus must rely exclusively on the strategy of hamstringing its competitors. It’s all an act meant to forestall China’s takeover to buy time for the US corporo-political class to figure out a way to reset US’s runaway debt spiral and hyper-financialized Babylonian tower—which many now believe will happen by crypto-izing US debt:

AMERICA WANTS TO HAVE ALL THEIR 37 TRILLION DEBT IN CRYPTO then crash the market, eliminating the debt.

Translation: EXPORT THE DEBT TO OTHER NATIONS

This plan was enumerated in particular at the Eastern Economic Forum recently by Putin’s special advisor Anton Kobyakov:

U.S. CRYPTO PLOT EXPOSED: Wiping $35 trillion debt on world’s dime

“The US will solve their financial problems at the expense of the whole world, driving everyone into the crypto-currency cloud. Over time, when part of the US state debt will be placed in stablecoins, the US will devalue this debt,” Putin’s advisor Kobyakov revealed.

As stated earlier, at this point the theatrics with China and various tariff seesaws appear more a distraction and desperate time-buying theater. The US is insolvent and its entire economy is increasingly hinged on nothing more than an empty AI capital washing machine spinning the same inflating ball of lint in circles as the plebs are immiserated beyond the breaking point.

A new caste of crypto and finance speculators ride the wave of vapor-tech euphoria, enriching themselves to unseen heights while lending the false sense of an economic ‘boom’. In reality, they are merely bone oracles of a modern technomantic gematria—the black magic of finance, which has garrotted the world with its all-consuming art. Under such a shadow, what possible significance could Trump’s petty pilpul sessions on tariffs really have in the long run?

The rest of the world only follows suit into the abyss, while useless leaders with 11% approvals play dress up in vain attempts to stem the coming storm.

The approval ratings in question:
