No I assure you he is. Trump is a fascist dictator; he's a true threat in the same way Hitler was a true threat.
Yes... I said he was a threat.
But the people who a richer than him, and fund all of this Right Wing Media, and put him in power are worse.
I'm done with this.
You're not seeing it. This man will put the oligarchs in concentration camps if they piss him off. The power dynamic completely changed after Jan 20th; now he is in charge and they are his lackies.
I don't think it's in his interest to do any of that. He does not control the machinery that influences public opinion and he doesn't have money like the richest people in the world have money.
You're not completely wrong, but I think he still needs at least most of them. They help inform him of strategy via data harvesting and the means of selling it to his supporters, trump does not have the ability to do that all on his own.
Here's the thing: He can just seize all that stuff; the left doesn't have a monopoly on seizing the means of production. Of course it's not in his interest to do that, but he can if push comes to shove, like say if they suddenly team up with the liberals. Of course this is much more true in the later stages of fascist dictatorship so in the earlier stages it's more of a symbiotic relationship, but even then I'd consider both Trump and the oligarchy equally threatening rather than the latter being the true threat. It's still imperative to take out the first so you can get to the latter.
