Trump, God, and the Techno Philosopher Kings
Trumpâs inaugural speech avoided direct war rhetoric with China but signaled dangerous trends: a growing alliance between corporate elites and government, imperialist ambitions, climate denial, and authoritarian overreach. With tech CEOs at the forefront and Musk in a key government role, the fusion of state and corporate power mirrors Mussolini-style corporatism. From threats to seize the Panama Canal to deploying emergency powers domestically, Trumpâs vision risks U.S. democracy and global stability. This analysis unpacks the implications of a presidency rooted in power, profit, and peril.

Out of no fondness for Harry S. Truman, I would add that, reportedly, he regretted that the C.I.A. had an operational role. My sparse reading on this subject tells me that he wanted the agency confined to intelligence gathering, because he understood that it would get out of hand – as it has – and become part of a secret (and constitutionally unconstrained) government. The victory of Mao Zedong over the highly corrupt Nationalists in 1949 made any effort to limit the C.I.A. thereafter politically impossible. The Dulles brothers are said to have played a major role in the birth of the C.I.A. as a two-headed monster.
