I Can Make Sense of Trump, Can You?

Let’s be honest. None of this makes sense at first. How can a man like Donald Trump become president—not once, but twice? How can someone who lies so easily, fights so many people, and breaks so many rules still hold power?
The truth is, it only makes sense when you stop looking at him like a normal politician. He isn’t one. He’s part of something much darker and older—something that has worked in Russia for decades.
Trump’s power doesn’t come from being smart or strong. It comes from manipulation and control.
He’s part of a system that uses lies, money, and fear of exposure to keep rich people and powerful men in line. This system has two tools: fake praise and quiet blackmail.
The praise comes from online armies of Russian bots, trolls, and fake news sites that tell people Trump is a hero. The blackmail—what Russians call kompromat—comes from Epstein-ian secrets. Secrets about blackmail money. Secrets about child rape. Secrets that can destroy anyone who speaks out.
Together, these tools make Trump seem untouchable.
For over forty years, Russian money has flowed into Trump’s world. It came through real estate deals, shady loans, and “business partners” who were really fronts for Kremlin-linked billionaires.
People like Paul Manafort didn’t just appear out of thin air—they were part of a web that tied Trump to Moscow long before he entered the White House. Once you see that, the mystery disappears. Trump isn’t a mystery at all. He’s a product of Russian patience.
The job he was built for is simple: break things. Break trust, break truth, break democracy.
He’s the wrecking ball that Putin and other dictators dreamed of—a man too proud to learn and too greedy to care. Every time Trump weakens the rule of law, attacks the press, or divides Americans against each other, Russia wins a little more.
Every time Trump praises Putin or delays help for Ukraine, it is not confusion—it is the plan working.
Trump also keeps his own leash on America’s rich and famous. He offers them what they want—money, fame, tax breaks—and warns what will happen if they cross him.
The Epstein scandal isn’t just about the crime of trafficking and raping children. Though, that would be bad enough.
No. It was about building leverage. The fear of exposure keeps many rich and powerful men quiet. That’s how Trump holds so many in check: he promises reward to the loyal and ruin to the disloyal. Epstein is the stick. The greed is the carrot.
So yes, I can make sense of Trump. He’s not a genius, not a savior, not even a good liar.
He’s a tool—used by men who play a deeper game. Once you understand that, everything about him becomes clear. His chaos is the point. His job is not to lead, but to destroy.
The question is: now that you can see it too, what are you going to do about it?
