With parts of the MAGA movement souring on Trump, or at least the online commentariat, there has emerged a conspiracy theory regarding the two assassination attempts on Trump. For the record, I don’t what to see Trump assassinated and that has nothing to do with something noble or altruistic but rather the fact that I don’t want someone like him becoming a martyr. if Trump goes I would sooner it be the form of him choking on a ham sandwich while on the toilet or something equally as embarrassing. Getting back to the conspiracy theory, the claim is that the two attempts are staged which is part of the larger narrative that you’ll see emerge which will be an attempt to divorce Trump from the MAGA movement. The larger narrative will be that Trump either sold out to the ‘deep state’ or that Trump was always part of the ‘deep state’ and the reason why he didn’t do what he is doing now (aka the regime change wars) in the first term was the idea that it was part of the ‘grand plan’ to hold off from regime change wars to the second term to ensure he got two terms.

As a consequence of this narrative (which is emerging out of the online commentariat who are in turn being backed by billionaires with their own political ambitions) the goal is to divorce Trump from the MAGA ideology (assuming there is a coherent MAGA ideology given the various groups whose interests contradict each other eg paleoconservatives who don’t want to be involved in foreign wars teaming up with Christian Zionists and their end times prophecies that necessitate such interventions in global affairs) so whoever ends up emerging for the 2028 primaries will claim that they’re the ‘real MAGA candidate’ who will actually do MAGA instead of selling out or being compromised.

I also think we’ll start to see it move beyond the MAGA influencers to regular people who will use it as an excuse to play the victim and then distance themselves from their vote – “oh, we were lied to, Trump is a shitty president and we didn’t vote for this, he betrayed MAGA…I’m all in on MAGA and Trump isn’t MAGA”. These are the same people who voted for George W Bush twice, the sort of people who would talk about ‘freedom fries’, ‘these colours don’t run’ and any criticism of US adventurism overseas was met with ‘why do you hate America’ yet today such people will deny they voted for George W Bush. Mark my words, when Trump’s presidency ends at the end of 2028 and a few years have passed then don’t be surprised when those very same people will claim they either didn’t vote for Trump or they were a victim of Trump.

When these narratives that are created don’t get created organically, they get created for a specific purpose. As the former MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair noted, the whole MAGA movement is carefully managed behind the scenes – the influencers are all coordinated behind the scenes and the narratives that are being put out there are being coordinated to ensure that whatever narrative is being put out there is consistent with whatever the end goals of the billionaire backers. The billionaire backers see Trump as a liability so they’re organising who will be the successor to Trump – who that successor will be, it depends on who will eventually emerge, it may even be an outsider who is outside the political establishment given that JD Vance is too closely associated with the current administration where the obvious will be asked of it him: “why didn’t you do something about it?” the only answer will be shoulders shrugging followed by “fucked if I know”.

When do you feel most productive?

I feel the most productive at night – for some reason when I get up I have little energy but like a Greek dance I slowly speed up towards the end of the day. Unsure as the reason for this, maybe my body takes time to ‘wake up’ or something. In the case of today, I woke up today, walked down to the supermarket (which is around 5km), did my shopping, jumped on a bus home and by the time I got home I felt as though I had a lot more energy even though I hadn’t eaten anything other than having a glass of water before leaving to go for the walk.
