This post is a summary of my comments on Donald Trump's first appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). This bullet point format is for my own reference, and may be expanded into a full post later.
I am a voluntaryist/anarchist and I believe that most right-wing (and conservative) politics are effectively (even if inadvertently) controlled opposition psyops that herd the moderate and right-wing normie sheep into the Statist corral.
Controlled Opposition pro-State psyop
- Saint “Lincoln” myth and cult
- DC is a “hallowed place”
- politicians are awesome, establishment is awesome and smart, surviving in DC for decades shows that you are very, very smart
- I didn’t put Crooked Hillary in jail, (Joe Rogan respected that), “wife of the President of the United States” royalty, “lock her up” (Trump : I never said that), Trump : I saved her from going to jail
- Bolton is a bad man but also I like him because scares countries into submission
- pro business — politician ‘quid pro quo’
- pro-Israel
- pro-cop
- “tariff” — most beautiful word in dictionary, more beautiful than ‘love’, we will become richest country in the world
- Elon re-usable rockets; DT : “I set up Space Force…first time in a long time…new force”
- bail-out + deficits needed to stave off depression — “businesses were dying due to COVID”….really?! Not lockdowns?!
- nuclear can be dangerous — can lead to nuclear war
- "Big Pharma wasn’t thrilled with RFK Jr."
- anti-jabber / COVID (no focus on Trump’s face)
Objectively good things
- ESG is bad
- wind power is a blight on beautiful landscapes
- regulation is bad
- negotiation with Abdul / Taliban
Interesting / Mixed
- gunshot / ear (Joe Rogan was cynical; explanation was 'meh'...)
- President Xi is a brilliant guy because he controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist
- I like sitting with pilots — “better looking than Tom Cruise”
- RFK Jr., good for health, have to be careful about “environmental”
- whining about trans illegal immigrants free gender change to illegal immigrants and prisoners
- Russia would not have attacked Ukraine if DT were president : (a) “Vladimir, you’re not goin in” (I can’t tell you what I told him, since it’s appropriate, but he’ll tell you some day), (b) oil prices could have been brought down — no money for war; same thing with Xi/Taiwan
