I agree with that conceptually, but I think one thing you might be assuming is that control of Trump is all from the same team. We know that there’s a high likelihood that he’s compromised by Russia, we know that he’s loyal mostly to money. It might be easier to point out institutions that don’t have power over him.
What I’m getting at is the things he does may not be random, rather we just don’t know who or what is motivating them. The recent stuff for Greenland might be just a bunch of wind that Russia decided might take the interest and support away from Ukraine. Not to say he’s a 5d chess player or anything, more that he’s just willing to jump for the highest bidder.
Above all, he’s selfish to the core. He takes things only as far as he can get power out of them. I have complete faith that he wouldn’t ever do anything that could endanger him one bit. He can be safe in his big ivory tower, but the second nukes start being on the table, I’m expecting him to fold.
Anyway, my motivations aren’t to argue a point or anything. I might have incompatible views to you and that’s honestly fine, I’m more offering a possibility that might be more hopeful. There is a solid chance that the world will get through this little dip into fascism, come out the other end, and recover.
