All the names we're studying these days are merely extensions of the hands of one person who has broken the traditional system for the second time

In recent days, we've become too focused on studying the statements of various candidates for the highest positions in the U.S. This is undoubtedly important for establishing connections. However, prior context and previous statements will not hold significance in terms of future actions.

"Given the experience Trump gained during his previous presidency, he will now appoint individuals whose loyalty he (and his son, as the chief recruiter) will not doubt in any way."

Therefore:

  • Secretary of State will be Trump;
  • Director of Intelligence - Trump;
  • and Secretary of Defense will also be Trump.

Don’t doubt it.

All the names we’re studying these days are merely extensions of the hands of one person who has disrupted the traditional system for a second time. The first confirmation of this will be when the new Attorney General closes all cases against the president.

Will the U.S. turn into an autocracy? That depends on many factors, primarily on the institutions that have so far upheld the system of 'checks and balances' and won’t immediately fall under direct White House control. Of course, public pressure, civil society, and the media will play crucial roles.

However, in the first year, everything will be focused on unveiling the new world in Trump’s vision. To grasp the trends, one must analyze what, how, and when the new president speaks (and especially thinks).

Welcome to the world of psychotherapy for one of the greatest individuals.
