GOP support for Trump are calling his extortionist war "negotiating for fair trade".

Obviously, protectionist survival policies are needed, regardless of WTO rules, USMCA, which are being broken under false national emergency pretexts.

Military cooperation with US needs to end, until they stop calling extortion trade fairness.

Uh, I'd prefer if our militaries remained on friendly terms myself. Even if our politicians don't.

It's a mistake to hope/think "The CIA is really still on "our side", and surely they can JFK him to regain control, so that we can be a happy colony again". Just as GOP simps for Trump calling his extortion "negotiating tactics for fair trade", the CIA/military doesn't mind amplifying the sycophancy level, even if they understand the most effective method is the appearance of voluntary freedom to be their slave. Regardless of how sycophancy is won, leveraging that devotion is entirely done at the political leadership level.
