Trump is in talks with Russia to end the war

[UltraBudgie]

Trump's job is to get the prices down for the Americans, stop the bleeding of money for wars not on homeland soil, and become isolationists, isn't the first step to stay home and fix the problems at home? Trump just needs to stop paying for war efforts not at home. Problem solved?

Or are we all seeing the reality of something else?

One can always live in a reality that spins narrative to retroactively explain what has been experienced, as you mention it's really a quite brilliant technique the propagandists employ, if brilliance can be said to exist within a closed sphere of unquestioned assumptions. A useful test of a reality-model, for those who are not content to express themselves within such a paradigm, would be to test the ability of the model to predict future events, and refine and evolve one's thinking based upon that. For example, which I may not be entirely correct, I am willing to predict:

• No return to previous prices for consumer goods
  
• No draw-down of overall US military presence in the world
  
• No significant reduction of government military spending
  

I think Trump's job isn't to actually try and do those things, but rather to generate useful perception to continue to sell the American narrative. He's a figurehead, a scapegoat, a conman, and a distraction, simple as that. The likelihood of those things coming to pass I would put on the same level as seeing viable free-energy, or humans "returning" to the moon.
