“To the victor belongs the spoils”: Trump’s imperial ambition is fueled by the myth of his mandate

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been arrested On the hot microphone the last day, give its evaluation to Donald TrumpA threat to convert Canada to the 51st country. I don’t think Trudeau It is given to the theories of land conspiracy. This is it What he said:

I suggest that the Trump administration does not only know the number of critical metals we have, but this may be the reason for their continued talking about our absorption and made the state 51.

[…]

They completely realize our resources, what we have, and they want a lot to be able to benefit from these. But Mr. Trump is in mind that one of the easiest ways to do this is to absorb our country. It is a real thing

Trump was asked about this by Fox News’ Bret Baier in his SUPER Bowl interview, and confirmed that he was serious about the radical and 51th thing because of the trade deficit in Canada, which was completely convinced of it is “support” (once again explaining that he has no idea about How to actually work trade)

Everyone always says that Trump coincides with Canada, but this is not true. Trudo evaluation is correct. He – she He is Something real. We know this because Trump has always said that he believes that “the Victor belongs to the spoils”, and it also seems that his victory to become an American president last November makes him victorious over the whole world.

Now, it is important to distinguish between his belief that he “belongs to the spoils” in the imperialist context of the “spoils system” in the local context, which he also believes in. Encyclopedia Britanica Explain the meaning of the “spoils system”, “ Which stems from the same source:

[I]Twas was famous in a speech delivered by Senator in 1832 William Marce to New York. In defending one of the president Andrew Jackson“The appointments,” to the victor belongs to the enemy’s spoils. “At Marsy’s time, the term Spoil Political dates are referred to, such as cabinet offices or ambassador, which is controlled by an elected official.

Trump takes this concept more by appointing uniquely unqualified worshipers, Forced civil employees (Something was not present at the time of Jackson) and demands Personal loyalty section. Basically, Jackson mimics, President Steve Bannon taught him to be his inspiration. It is not likely to realize it. But he certainly established a spoiling system in the US federal government for the first time in many satellites.

Trump claims that he won the victory of the ground collapse (a lie: His popular victory was 1.4 % narrow and his electoral victory was modest in historical standardsWhat appears to have pushed him to believe that he is the undisputed leader for a nation’s stronger nation in the world, also has the ability to buy or take what he wants. To the victor goes spoils, traditionally, these spoils are natural resources.

Think about the fact that Trump was hearing around William McKinley, who was convinced that he was a great president because of the tariff. Trump is not a researcher and does not know anything about that historical period, but the truth is that that era, known as the sect of sect, was also called The new era of imperialismWhen the British Empire, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United States and Japan raced to colonize everything that was left irresponsible on the planet. The period lasted approximately 1873 1914, with the outbreak of World War I. There were many reasons for this, but one of the basics was the competition for the natural resources needed to feed The second industrial revolution.

The belief that “the victor belongs to the spoils” is based on imperialism, and so is with Trump. Immediately after taking office in 2017, He went to the headquarters of the CIA and said:

The old expression, “to the victor belongs to the spoils” – remember. I always used to say, keep the oil. I was not a fan of Iraq. I did not want to go to Iraq. But I will tell you, when we were in that, we got out of error. I always said, in addition, keep the oil.

Two years later “To the victor belongs to the spoils,” he said again around Syria After his advisers deceived him to keep some forces there to “protect oil”.

We also know that he was incomprehensible to sell Denmark Greenland to him and threaten to capture it if they refused, as it was found that resources are about resources: Minerals. Recently, Ukraine was on the list, again, rare Earth minerals:

Then there is Gaza, “Flashback Pak Imperials”, “,” Andrew also calls it the salon, Which, according to my knowledge, does not have any oil or minerals to serve but it is characterized by some very pleasant properties on the beach that seems to want to develop into an international resort.

Let’s not claim that any of this is about the national interest. The whole thing is about Trump’s money.

This talk about minerals comes from somewhere and I would like to think that it has to do with the fact that the rare Earth’s minerals It is necessary for all modern electronics (Among other things). Trump has a very rich BFF that has a great interest in such things and it is easy to guess that he whispered in Trump’s ear around all the “spoils” that should be by obtaining/seizing the ground in which it is located.

Trump’s imperial ambitions go beyond just taking natural resources. He also finally explained what “America first” had always meant. It is not related to isolation, it is related to domination. America first means “we are number one!”

Once again in 2017 when this speech was delivered at the headquarters of the CIA and said that the United States should have kept oil after the invasion of Iraq, thus preceding this suspension:

When I was young – and I think we are all young. When I was young, we have always been winning things in this country. We will win trade. We will win with wars. In a certain era, I remember hearing one of my coaches, “The United States has not lost a war.” After that, then, it seems that we did not win anything. We no longer win.

After all the accountability ran away from anything he did during his first term and beyond, Trump sees himself as a college now. He was restored to the White House with a larger margin than in 2016 and helped in revenge by the richest man on this planet. It stands on earning huge amounts of money during what is already formed to be the most corrupt chairmanship in the history of the United States. His victory means that the United States wins again. Il est l’état. To the victor belongs to the spoils.
