I'll look for yet more stagecraft where Trump slides back out of government and his mock-enemies don't have to worry about a backlash in the form of (real) subpoenas (filed in anger.) I expect that one of the Kushners will end up at the helm. Probably by way of Mike Pence and/or civil war.

Thanks for the summary. I'm currently moving from Cebu to Bohol so I have a lot of other things on my mind on the moment. You could be right about Trump orchestrating a plan to exit from the government while still delivering a "V" to his supporters/fundraisers, but one thing I'm certain won't happen is a civil war. Most Americans are just too docile and placated to risk upsetting their internet and satellite cable infrastructure. Now that you can have Arby's delivered through your cell phone, I doubt most people even go outside anymore.

I think that for 98% of people anywhere civil war comes to them rather than the other way around. I think it possible, if not likely, that the 2% could and would hit the go button, and it could happen at any time.

How Americans will react (to civil war) is pretty hard for me to judge. The extreme interest in gun control indicates to me that some people anticipate an 'event'. It's really the only reasonable explanation for the intense focus on what is basically a non-issue. 5G is another wildcard in 'reaction profiles' as I see it. It is another program that has been rolled out with a very suspicious degree of frenzy...the wonderful ability to download a DVD in 4 seconds isn't really explaining things to my satisfaction.

Anyway, it's better to watch what happens in/to the U.S. from afar. Seems to me that Malaysia is well out in front of The Philippines insofar as understanding the root cause of the evils vexing the modern planet. I'm afraid that The Philippines would fall into the trap without ever seeing it coming.
