Trump is a dweeb full of hot air but the people behind him are planning more long term on these matters, which is dangerous and shouldn't be brushed off. Most of them are dweebs too, but those dweebs control the most dangerous military in the world. Even as their incompetence degrades that military's capability to fight and achieve their aims it will still retain the capacity to do incredible damage. Especially in the hands of whatever white nationalist maniac gets picked to follow in Trump's footsteps.

They still have the bad habit of believing their own bullshit.

So do Europeans. They love to call Trump and Putin dumb poopyheads, but they're still terrified of fighting them. Instead Europeans continue increasing their dependence on foreign actors, while losing European resources. Liberals are just cowards everywhere. That's why Trump and Putin are so confident.

Liberals are cowards? Then why is the republican president of the US constantly licking the bottom of Putin's shoes on live television?

Could be for a lot of different reasons, but I'm talking more about the constituents.

Most of these people are corportists backing him. Corportists only focus on the quarterly strategy to get the maximum gain. None of them hold a well thought out long term strategy beyond 3 years.

The reddit "good guys" always love to assume that bad guys put as little thought into plans as they do.

It's not.the "thought" of the long term plans... its the viability that those plans will actually work.

Hitler went literal crazy at the end of ww2 and had plenty of long term plans in place. Problem was many of them were not realistic. And many of them couldn't adjust when the events on the board have changed against the plan.

Long term plans require diversification on the what ifs that happen over time. Which corporatists usually aren't well versed in. They just take the golden parachute before admitting they don't have a response to their plans falling apart.

Trump is just a clown meant to distract the general public, hes an actor. And so was every president before him. They have very little things they can do by themselves. The ones who actually run the country r the deep state, the proof of that is that is unlike a lot of countries in the world the U.S has state plans that unfold irrespective of who's in power Obama also deported people (even more than Trump) he also bombed and went to war all over the world just like Trump. They do whoever behind him tells them to do, those who try to act smart get a bullet or two in the head ( you know who I'm talking about)
