Trump of America the predator nation projects on the rest of the World that it is the predator and America the victim . <


what Mr. Trump has done is carve out that we the United States, the hegeimon for the last 75 years were systematically abused in that role (!!) We were ripped off. Oh really It was rigged against us. We were taken advantage of by China, Iraq, Latin America etc. when we exploited their low wage labor ; oh really . Charles Brown : Trump is a wolf in sheep's clothing ; victimizer lying that it is a victim of its victims.<


And I, Mr. Trump am rising my fist and I'm going to show you that's going tostop. We are not going to be subordinated to anybody. It's our it he turns the situation upside down. He is the spokesperson for the rising up of an America which is not being a hegeimon in the sense of taking over anybody. It is instead we're not going to be ripped off. That's He does that with 1 Canada. He does it with everybody he can Canada. He does it with everybody he can think of to do that. That that is his going to claim it with the Mexicans when he goes down there. Um he's gonna look before he abducted Mr. Maduro. The major argument made was a a claim, an old claim of the Chevron Corporation and two or three other large global oil companies because many years ago under Hugo Chavez, certain of their propertiesThe major argument made was a a claim, an old claim of the Chevron Corporation and two or three other large global oil companies because many years ago under Hugo Chavez, certain of their properties in Venezuela were seized by the government and uh nationalized and they made claims about that. They wanted restitution. They wanted to be paid for what had beenHugo Chavez, certain of their properties in Venezuela were seized by the government and uh nationalized and they made claims about that. They wanted restitution. They wanted to be paid for what had been taken. The whole thrust over in the UN in public relate that was about correcting a terrible injusticeabout correcting a terrible injustice done to the United States by the Venezuelans who took our property was very important for the admin for the Trump administration to frame the activity in that way. My guess is they're going to do that with Mexico and they're going to do it with Cuba and and it because it11:45 be taken advantage of. We're not going to allow these crooked drug dealers to move in those boats in the Caribbean. We 1 are going to smite them. You know, 11:58 almost biblical in its in its angry. 12:01 It's it's like we it's the Old 12:03 Testament. We are going to prevent the 12:06 world and and that's how you rewrite the 12:10 script instead of the world pulling away 12:14 finally from its global hegemony 12:18 dominated by the US in a hundred waysscript instead of the world pulling away 12:14 finally from its global hegemony 12:18 dominated by the US in a hundred ways 12:22 freeing themselves. If you go to a BRICS 12:25 conference, that's all you hear. We're 12:28 freeing ourselves from the global 12:31 dominance of the West. 12:34 But if you come here, you have it 12:36 exactly on on upside down. It's the 12:39 United States freeing itself from theabuse over the last decades. By the way, 12:48 abuse by Europeans, abu. Everybody's 12:51 abusing everybody. 12:54 To to hear this, Mr. Trump had to. And 12:57 he did. He didn't shy away. He had to 13:00 portray his predecessors, 13:04 both Democrat and Republican, 13:06 as pushovers, as 13:10 uh without courage, without strength.as pushovers, as 13:10 uh without courage, without strength. 13:14 They allowed 13:16 us to be ripped off. You know, it it is 13:20 very important that that Europeans 13:22 understand that. And and that's all the 13:25 way up. That's how these people actually 13:28 think. 13:30 Everybody before them was stupid or 13:33 gullible. 13:34 They aren't. They aren't stupid and
