I wish it was 4D chess but there is no coherent plan beyond personal enrichment.

Why can't it be both? You think these people don't get together and make plans? All these freaks are in signal chats together planning, scheming, etc., just like the rest of us but yeah they're doing it for personal enrichment. Trump isn't smart but he commands many very smart people who do the heavy intellectual lifting. When did it become so gauche to believe in actual conspiracies? These people conspire, they make plans, they try to carry them out. If they didn't then they wouldnt be where they are

A lot of what I'm talking about comes from my crude understanding of the stupidly named "Mara-Lago Accords". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago_Accord

Its really hard to say whether they will be totally successful, but they have a lot of backing by the richest and most powerful people in the world. So we should be concerned imo
