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)
- vote : most important thing we do, a sacred thing
- need borders — to stop trafficking (Internet made this hot)
- Mike Pompeo (a lot of other good people too) — “Sir, we would rather have you not open JFK files”, “I did open them partially”, “there’s an MLK file too”, “I’ll close it and look at it another time” “many people said don’t do it”, “national security reasons that I don’t need to know of”, “living people implicated….tend to want not to do it”
- Aliens
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
- whining about "men in women's sports"
- 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
