Trump, Like Biden, Has Always Been a Whore to the Deep State
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/)
The only difference between the two is that Trump is so hypocritical about this that he publicly condemns the Deep State (which he actually serves). (This will be documented here.)
So, what IS the Deep State?
It is the American aristocracy; it is the billionaires who donate the majority of the funding to both of America’s private ‘non-profit’ political clubs (which is what they are, and have always been) the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee. Each of these ‘Committee’s is nothing more than a private club: it has no legally enforceable obligations to non-members of the club — none whatsoever. All it has, really, is its existential dependency upon the super-rich individuals who, via their corporations, thinks tanks, news-media, lobbyists, etc., support this club.
Such clubs actually do have no legal obligation to their voters. They pretend otherwise, but they lie constantly, because they represent the few super-rich, NOT their voters. The two of them together represent only the thousand or so super-rich (billionaires and centi-millionaires — who donate the majority of the funds that fuel American politics) so that however much money will be needed in order to fool enough voters to vote for their candidates (the candidates that this aristocracy select to fund), that money will be available to these contestants — and ONLY such corrupt individuals will be able to become high public officials.
Here is great video journalism — one regarding Biden, and the other regarding Trump — documenting the completeness of America’s corruptness:

7-minute version: Trump’s scumminess

That is what results from a country where money buys political power and therefore political power serves the dollars not the public — where it’s one-dollar-one-vote (like in a regular corporation, one-share-one-vote) NOT one-person-one-vote (like in any authentic democracy).
On 16 July 2024, at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump Jr. even publicly acknowledged the correctness of Ben Norton’s brilliant summary of Trump’s career as Trump’s being extremist right-wing, totally in billionaires’ pockets, when Donald Jr. was headlined at Yahoo News “Long a divisive figure, Don Jr. says Trump is a changed man after attempted assassination”, and he was quoted: “‘You know, I think it lasts,’ Donald Trump Jr. said in response to a question of how long the ‘new Trump’ would continue. ‘There are events that change you for a couple minutes and there’s events that change you permanently. Now again it’s Trump so you’re still going to be reactionary.’” So, anyone who would think that the Republican nominee ISN’T a reactionary, would need to be an idiot, because even that son of his acknowledged it publicly.
As regards Biden, and the way that Greenwald documented his career as having been comparably reactionary, I had already documented that on many occasions concerning Biden, the most recent being on 11 June 2024, “Biden is the most corrupt President in U.S. history.”
And here is how that fact becomes displayed in the European Union, which was created by the U.S. Government:
American propaganda organs label Viktor Orban, who is the current EU President (and the EU is anything BUT a democracy, but he did land there, and is now excercising his powers under the EU’s Constitution, which is the Treaty of Lisbon) — label him a “rogue,” for his doing everything he can to bring about a peaceful negotiated end to the current war in Ukraine, which war has been going on now for 10 years:

16 July 2024
Members of the European Parliament demanded Hungary’s EU voting rights be stripped after its Prime Minister’s trips to Russia and China.
In a letter obtained by POLITICO, 63 MEPs addressed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel and European Parliament chief Roberta Metsola, saying Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “has already caused significant damage by exploiting and abusing the role of the Council Presidency.”
Hungary took over the rotating Council of the EU presidency from Belgium on 1 July. Since then, Orbán has launched self-declared “peace missions” to Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing and Washington and claimed, without authorization, to be representing the EU. [Whether his peace-mission is within his powers as head-of-state of Hungary the rotating Presidency of the EU, is debatable; Robert Fico, who is Slovakia's head-of-state, says that Orban is within his powers to do that, even though other EU Governments don’t want to end the war by peaceful negotiation.] ...

Why does the U.S. regime want this war to continue? Here’s why: It is EXTREMELY profitable to America’s armaments manufacturers, and America’s armaments manufacturers control the U.S. Government and all of its colonial Governments (such as all in the EU except for Hungary and maybe Slovakia), because their biggest owners ARE the Deep State, and because these corporations need to control these Governments in order to be able to control their markets (which ARE these Governments).
What has been documented here is that neither of the two Parties represents you — your choice between them would be only your choice of which group of billionaires will run America’s Government for the next four years. And ESPECIALLY, neither of the two Parties’ s‘elected’ nominees for the U.S. Presidency will represent you.
It’s remarkable how similar billionaires are to each other. For example: all of the evidence consistently shows that anti-Israel billionaires don’t exist. Wow, isn’t that amazing! Just think about that stunning fact.
So, to vote for either Trump or Biden is to be a fool of either Republican billionaires or Democratic billionaires.
This isn’t at all like Bush v. Gore was in the year 2000, when there really was, somehow, a decent person whom one of the major Parties had nominated — Al Gore, opposed to invading Iraq., etc. — and so voting ‘third party’ in that contest was just throwing one’s vote away. However, ever since then, and very much today, anyone BUT a major-Party nominee would be much better than the proven psychopaths whom the major Parties (their billionaires) have selected.
Even if a person who is condemned to death is given a choice as to which way to die, that still isn’t a free person. Anyone who would call such “freedom” and a result of “democracy” is either a fool or else a liar. It’s simply not the case. This year is 2024, not 2000. It’s a very different world. It’s the world that we were heading towards during 1945-2000, but now it is very much here. This is just a historical fact.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
