In 2016, Trump presented himself as a "realist" or even as "antiwar." To this day, he rages against America's "forever wars" and "the neocons." It's notable that, despite this talk, Trump was obsessed with Iran in a way that very much resembled the neocons and Dick Cheney. — PolitiTweet.org

Moscow would end its long-standing relationship with Tehran in exchange for more preferable treatment by Washington. Russia would become indifferent to hostilities towards Iran (perhaps even supportive of them). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

This clandestine meeting was about establishing a "back channel" between Moscow and Washington, which was apparently never used (?). This meeting becomes more interesting when it's revealed that its motive was to "drive a wedge between Moscow and Tehran." — PolitiTweet.org

In January 2017, there was a meeting in the Seychelles, off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, between Eric Prince (presumably Trump's ambassador), the prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, and a Russian official close to Putin. https://t.co/nrwhAIvAd9 — PolitiTweet.org

While none of this is terribly surprising, a certain kind of geopolitical "deal" seemed to materialize after Trump won. (It's unlikely that Moscow thought Trump would win, but they expected him to damage Clinton, the likely next president, and generally drive America insane.) — PolitiTweet.org

That said, I don't think Russia was motivated solely (or probably at all) by the prospect of a "tough but fair" patriot in the White House. Russia viewed Trump, correctly, as inspiring division and chaos. Moreover, Trump's comments on NATO could be demoralizing to the alliance. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Avoiding any "Russiagate" hysteria, it's safe to say Trump was Moscow's preferred candidate in 2016. Trump returned the love, and, to be fair, much of what he said was reasonable and "realist": Why not get along with Russia? Why aren't NATO countries paying their fair share? etc. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't quite know what to make of the China-related material. But might the Iran documents tell us something about the dynamics at play with regard to Trump, Iran, the Saudis and UAE—and, yes, Russia? — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, we learned that the most significant documents Trump held onto in Mar-a-lago relate to Iran's missile systems and China. https://t.co/CjDsxaXkmu — PolitiTweet.org

Whites aren't so much "gullible" as they are actively desiring to be scammed. They want to believe. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Secondly, the "We Build The Wall" scam was so brazenly criminal, I'm genuinely shocked that anyone would take him seriously afterwards. I should have remembered this certain White infatuation with evangelical preachers, charlatans, and snake-oil salesmen. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In a way, I'm surprised that Bannon could accomplish this. Back in 2017, he was fired for disrespecting Trump to various journalists and authors, even floating the use of the 25th amendment. (Perhaps he imagined himself taking over MAGA in Trump's place?). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Steve Bannon has earned the fanatical, irrational support of MAGA, who have no concept of politics or policy outside owning the libs. Lib-owning martyrdom will certainly appeal to them. Four months is a small price to pay for decades-long grift. https://t.co/hOhyf5YT9I — PolitiTweet.org

@cheg I don't think Kanye is terribly intelligence; it's difficult for him to articulate his positions; but "free association" logic was what made him a compelling artists (to many, if not me).
