Trump is a closet truther, and has been for a very long time. The problem isn't learning the truth, it's communicating it to the public in such a manner that they will discard what they already "know" and accept the real truth.
What's happening with this and other issues is that Trump is trying to get people to accept him as their "authority" who will tell them the truth. He feeds it out slowly to sway them, slow enough so that the current "authorities" of the media don't want to "Streisand" it.
Since it's you saying this, I'll consider it, but if most anyone else said it, I would discard this theory as ridiculous.
His views on propping up clear genocide in Palestine are why I feel the way I do. He knows exactly what's going on, but all I see in his eyes are dollar signs.
I would submit that the Palestine situation is also subtle, but what you have to do is take in all the evidence and be alert for those tiny, transient clues to try to figure out what the hell is really going on.
One thing that you never hear about in the mainstream is that Israel is internally fracturing, with widespread political dissent of all stripes, and headed towards civil disorder or even civil war. It's shaking itself apart, as has been predicted by some over the years. So time is working against The Jewish State and for the Palestinians. In the meantime, yes, Palestinians are dying, but in a war of any type (such as that which I believe Trump is very quietly fighting) you simply cannot expect both to save everyone and to prevail.
In the meantime, Trump's the only one interested in actually saving their lives, even more than the Palestinians are. They will never, ever, ever assert their rights and live on their homeland if they all get blown to pieces. They'll be a bunch of brave dead martyrs that history will forget almost immediately. About half the Gazans are dead already and no one knows or cares. Seems a dumb way to go and Trump is the only one offering them a path other than a quick one to Paradise.
As part of the overall picture, the big narrative is "Trump is Zionist shill". That line would seem to be contradicted by stories which quickly evaporate like these:
Trump shares video calling Netanyahu ‘a deep, dark SOB’: Relations between the incoming US president and the Israeli PM have often been rocky (1/10/2025)
Trump played key role in Gaza ceasefire deal – Times of Israel: The incoming US president’s envoy has reportedly convinced PM Netanyahu to accept a truce with Hamas (1/16/2025)
Netanyahu ‘obviously shocked, embarrassed’ on live TV after Trump announces Iran talks: Reports (4/8/2025)
I mean, anyone can still think Trump is a Zionist shill based on whatever else. but they still need to give their explanation for these and many other things. They never, ever do. Not even aware of such evidence, as far as I've ever seen.
It seems crazy to take as reliable the analysis of anyone who isn't aware of all the significant, relevant evidence. But what I've found is that almost everyone analyzes until they get to the answer they're comfortable with and that becomes the "truth".
