Was there ever any doubt about trump’s intention?

Of course he is doing this, he’s a monster.

I think that is the common understanding. The reason it's not bandied about publicly is the amazing power of the billionaire owned media. We need to change those rules about media ownership before everything merges into one big ball of goo.

Whatever is going on we can be sure broadcast media is hiding it.

Fellow U.S. citizens.....we are the bad guys.

Great, the Americans have re-invented colonialism again!

Nothong to see here, USA is doing USA thing.

This is what they always have done after WW2

US gonna US.

rerun of Chile

And exporting people to there too I'm sure.

Soooooooo, the same thing the US has done all over the planet for decades. Still shitty after all these years.
