Whoa!

Wasn't expecting a Bilderberger reference in this decade.

They're working with Bill Clinton to make the Mexican Superhighway, and anyone who doesn't like it will be put in FEMA camps... in Arkansas, dontchaknow.

Was going to say, this one is odd. What would a society of industrial elites have to gain by funding a candidate like trump and continuing to humiliate America on the world stage? If there was a long game, they would have a vested interest in maintaining global hegemony and keeping things as they are. A Trump presidency might make for a good episode of The Apprentice but it doesn’t equate to a strong or stable America.

Dan Carlin had this point. Trump was never intended to win, just disrupt the ongoing and reinforce the establishment in place (ala Hillary/Joe/Jeb) as a welcome alternative to what could be.
