In explaining the Trump phenomenon, intelligence might hinder one’s understanding of “the don”. Highly intelligent people tend to attempt to want to make order out of chaos and sense out of nonsense. They have a hard time understanding an intellect that is subpar, in a person who has achieved such heights of political power; they’re inclined to think that there must be something there they are not seeing.

The more they scrutinize the situation, the more they connect dots that should be but aren’t there. Kevin Barret had an interesting article comparing Trump to Ubu Roi and I think he may be on to something there, perhaps, that could help us understand from a less educated perspective.

The don appears to be working from more of a mob boss mentality and it’s hard for intellectuals to understand this more instinctual, “might makes right” position, as opposed to a more traditional and diplomatic, civilized perspective.

Trump has been sent by the Masters to paint a total strategic loss as a victory, and from what I’m seeing, his strategy is this: if there’s no way to stop the Russians in Ukraine, then we’ll just grab whatever we want to show how big and strong we are, by beating up a bunch of smaller countries and economically canabalizing the E.U. vassal states, like Saturn devouring his children.

We’ll see if he is really stupid enough to follow through on his claim to seize Gaza. Perhaps there’s something more to Trump’s maneuvers, as the world is unifying against this outrageous crime. Will he actually force the Israelis into the two-state solution they fear most, or a one-state solution of the Israelis and Palestinians, as the Iranians have long advocated? It seems to be kind of leaning more towards the Ubu Roi perspective, right now.
