Why Trump will not finish his term [View all]
Trump will not finish his term because, in his hubris he has forgotten the concept of interest. One can be allowed to make a lot of noise, disrupt some apple carts, but one cannot seriously threaten the interests and survival of the most powerful in society without encountering extreme danger, both politically and personally. In short, threaten the oligarchs -- powerful men and women who may not be in the spotlight but determine the fates of economies and politicians -- and one will be REMOVED.
Trump is disrupting:
1. The financial system
2. Defence contractors (this is not the reason for supporting Ukraine, but it IS profitable to this sector, as is NATO membership)
3. The Anglo-American Alliance -- a century's long financial and security partnership that benefits both citizens AND the extremely wealthy
4. The political stability so necessary for commerce and trade to flourish
5. Wrecking the economy and destroying trade partnerships
6. Increasing the chances of a catastrophic nuclear war
7. Destroying the Rule of Law which is so necessary for the enforcement of contracts, peaceful political transitions and the pursuit of business
These things concern us, the responsible citizenry, but they terrify the truly powerful. They may have tolerated Trump to a degree on the promise of tax cuts to the wealthiest, the scaling back (or outright removal) of environmental protections, the lowering or removing of financial and legal regulatory bodies , etc. but all of this is not sufficient to protect a politician who so deeply threatens the oligarch's interests. They will remove him.
