[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hat the Deep State hates most about Trump (besides his rantings about NATO costing too much, his tendency to seek non-belligerent relations with Moscow, or getting rid of the global alliance and what not, and his general discombobulating of the carefully constructed, super-expensive US empire) is that he lets the true face of the US and associated ruling classes show through in all their appaling ugliness and criminality. He's good and effective at implementing what the US empire wants, including giving the super-rich everything they ask for, from ridiculous low taxation, and non-existent regulation, to a defenceless environment, but Trump remains a dumb oaf, an embarrassment, a bad and erratic front man in the p.r. department for a system that requires enormous amounts of dissimulation to remain tolerably "legitimate" in the eyes of the increasingly suspicious hoi polloi. Here's Jimmy Dore's brave summary of what the US really is, cosmetics and lies aside.
We speak to political commentator Jimmy Dore on the Mueller report’s summary showing no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, he says the media has no credibility and is bought by the people they’re supposed to be investigating, says the failure of the American neoliberal system led to Donald Trump and gives his take on US regime change attempts in Venezuela.
