I generally agree with your blame TPTB first mindset, but in this case I think they underestimated Trump. Although he&#x27;s not a deep policy thinker and historically has been indistinguishable from any other trendy NYC lib, he has two distinguishing traits. First, his massive ego, second, he&#x27;s a violently pro-American nationalist, moreso than anyone in the past 50 years. That presents a major challenge for the globalist TPTB&#x27;s current dialog - even his rhetoric is disruptive to their worldwide agenda. Maybe you&#x27;re right and this is a cleverly planned dialectical antithesis that will be used to sneak in more Patriot Act style moves, but I think there&#x27;s a genuine chance things have gone off script.
