No one who understands America and Trump could realistically expect him to put right the ship of state. Therefore it's fair to accuse those who believed in Trump of naivety, and that includes Professor Dugin whom I admire.
However I can see the psychological force that was at play: sincere hope. Faced with what virtually everyone can see is a sinking empire and a nascent multi-polar future ready to replace it, Trump's believers placed all their hopes in him to correct America's many faults and lead the country into a new era. That this hope was misplaced, even dangerous, was obvious given the preponderance of evidence. But when things are going very wrong, human beings think and act based on hope rather than a completely rational assessment. This is a natural tendency, probably born from survival-of-species instincts. But about America and Trump, that belief was completely unjustified.
Despite the many good and honest people who live there, the USA and Trump both are corrupt. The rot has penetrated to America's core (or perhaps always resided there) and there is no saving it.
This outcome is a calamity for humanity at large, not just for Americans. The squandered human potential in America's turn to evil - to anti-humanity - is vast. However evolution is both rational and implacable. It's not based in hope or what could've been but in small, relentless improvements that enhance survival. A probable future, not our hopes for it, is the likeliest outcome. That probable future, assuming there's to be one, will not greatly mourn the passing of Trump and America.
Well said. It's incomprehensible how anyone could think Trump and his fabricated movement (or "revolution") are anything but goads for the gullible masses.
This interview seem to imply that there was a genuine great hope with Trump, but this was never really true to anyone who had not been already hoodwinked by this wolf in sheep’s clothing. He has always been a mobster and everything he has done is predictable. The question is: what are the alternatives? Who are the alternatives to real change and when will they reveal themselves before it is too late. Meanwhile it’s 3 more years of chaos
If we set aside the strategy of bringing "Trump-Sauced Republicans" to power in order to provide Democratic strength for a possible world war, and continue on this speech and in general;
*I’d like to continue our conversation about Donald Trump and ask: when exactly was the moment Trump lost his way, folded, or truly departed from MAGA?*
My answer to the question asked as such is:
I can say it was the overthrow of Assad and Syria falling into this state even before Trump came to power.
Trump was bought up by the Zio crowd years if not decades ago.
You don't become a Billionaire in New York without be captured by these people.
The American power structure is captured by the donor class.

Tnx!
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Xi Jinping are world leaders. I thought Trump would be one too. He has failed.
He only failed those who believed he was a good man. He has never been that
