If we want to see what goes on in the "veddy, veddy Exclusive, and
veddy veddy private club, after all the Flunkies have been patted on
the head and sent home, all we need do is to watch "The Donald".
Donald Trump is the first president among a number of Ruling Class Men
in the White House, to bring the rough and tumble backroom brawling
into the public limelight.
The Empire's Ruling Class is one big dysfunctional family. And Donald
Trump may be one of the most dysfunctional members of this noble clan.
He certainly is not a team player.
Other members of the Ruling Class to sit in the Oval Office, in my
lifetime, were George Bush, Big Daddy George Bush, John Kennedy, and
FDR. I'm not certain of Jimmy Carter, but if he is a member he's only
small potatoes...uh...peanuts.
Obama, Clinton, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Eisenhower and Truman
were all Pawns of the Ruling Class. They were well paid Lackeys for
jobs well done.
Because there many divisions among the Ruling Class, members do become
involved in the day to day politic. Some accept appointed posts such
as Ambassadors or agency heads or even sitting on the Supreme Court.
But for the most part they stay in the background and hire "frontmen"
to do their bidding. And, in many cases, they actually marry from
among the Lackey Ranks. But one thing is for certain, these bully
boys may turn on one another, but when their Rule is challenged, they
become one mighty fist.

I think the Militant's position on the attacks on Trump is that they are
red herrings. That is, whoever the ruling class allows to be president
is going to look after the interests of the ruling class and the rest of
us should be concentrating on other issues like getting rid of the
ruling class altogether. I tend to agree. After all, what if Trump is
impeached and removed from office? Would Pence be any better? I don't
think so. We would have to oppose him and his policies too. I will
admit, though, that some of these articles that try to make that point
have come perilously close to defending Trump and that makes me a bit
uncomfortable. This article started out the same, but by the second half
of it I think it was explaining what Trump really is all about. On my
own part, though, I will say that Trump is a bit different from other
presidents in that in this case rather than the ruling class installing
one of their flunkies to administer the bourgeois state a member of the
ruling class has decided to dabble in administering the bourgeois state
himself. Another president may represent one or more factions of the
ruling class, but when the president is a member of the ruling class
himself he is more likely to represent only one faction and Trump may be
a faction of his own. If this causes a rift in the ruling class then it
could offer opportunities for the working class to take advantage of.
The trouble is that if the rift becomes big enough then I suppose you
can guess who will be forced to fight their civil war.

Hi Roger,
Interesting read here.
While I do believe that Russia did attempt to influence elections here and
still are trying, I agree that it is more important for Putin and Trump to
deal with other issues like Syria and nuclear stockpiles on both sides.
Trump ought to be working on all three issues here.
I did think the post was too easy on Trump. Do you really think that Trump
wants peace? IF so, then why is he advocating for yet more military
spending? In his campaign, he rightly complained about how we ought to
throttle back on bases around the world.
Trump keeps claiming that all investigations against him and his campaigns
are witch hunts. IF that is so, then he should be willing to release his
tax returns. The fact that he will not informs me that he has something to
hide.
I am no fan of our military, FBI or CIA, but I'll also not take the side
of a dictator like Putin. For a guy who claims to be tough, he really did
look like Putin's poodle in Helsinki.
