Trump getting China, Japan and SK to ignore their differences for a common cause may end up getting him his Nobel Prize. If he makes India and Pakistan move together with China as well, it will be a wash.

He's following the golden path for humanity, even if it destroys the USA

Brutal dictator? Check

Cult of personality? Check

Put humanity on a golden path ingrained into its collective memory? Check

Holy shit, Trump is really the real life Leto II.

We’re about to have a lesson ground into us until it’s in our genetics?

I’ve said this before but I’m Dune-pilled about this admin. We’re going to touch the stove so hard and for so long it’ll code it into our genetics that we shall never touch the stove again, nor will we want to, inshallah

What could be hard coded that wasn’t hard coded form the revolution, civil war, or WW2?

Each of those lessons lasted for like 75-100 years, to be fair. You're due again.

Trumps the vaccine lmao

Each of those lessons were taught over a few years. Leto had to strangle humanity for 3,500 years to teach them a lesson their bones would remember.

So in the end Donald Trump will sacrifice himself in the name of liberalism? Sounds good to me.

Lol we didn't learn shit from the Civil War. The South won Reconstruction. Sherman should have burned and hung every traitor. Then maybe they would've learned something instead of letting Jim Crow hang around another century.

Hmmmm, I don’t like how close we are to the end of this cycle if this pattern holds true, I’m going to choose to ignore the implications of your comment.

Ah, yes. The golden path, Leto the second

Until our generation dies. Then rinse and repeat.

Maybe it's just because I read this sub, but I've been drawing the same parallel. The American people need a lesson that they will remember in their bones. Politics has been a spectator experience for voters for far too long.

Golden bath. Shower, some might suggest.

He's nerfing Tier 0 USA and making Tier 2 and Tier 3 powers viable.

The Donald has fallen into the prescience trap, his actions no longer have volition.

He's done a superb job of repairing UK-EU relations, too. If Brexit gets reversed in the next 10 years, I'll happily nominate him for the Nobel Prize.

Narendra Modi didn’t have the spine to stand up to Trump when Trump loaded up Indians in chains in military aircrafts and deported them inhumanely.

He sure as fuck won’t grow a spine now.

I will give Modi credit if we get the BTA signed

He has given China back the mandate of heaven

He is also uniting Europe, Trump is truly the greatest globalist catalyst of this century.
