The Evidence That Trump Is War Profiteering Is Growing By the Day

Seth Abramson

{Note: Shortly after this report went to press, this author saw that CNN reported—less than 48 hours ago—that the Trump Family will be moving into the openly corrupt “prediction market” space, giving it yet another avenue with which to grift America and the world through bad-faith geopolitical manipulations. Readers should keep this is mind as they read what follows.}

Even now, it’s insufficiently appreciated by the average American news consumer that the entire basis for the political rebellion Donald Trump claimed to be making against the Republican Party establishment in mid-2010s—an establishment, in his telling, that was and is epitomized by the George W. Bush administration—was opposing its wasteful, endless, disinformation-fueled foreign wars. He not only swore never to do what his GOP predecessors had done, but castigated them in unprecedented terms for what he framed as betrayals of the country; more than once he solemnly intoned that President Bush really should have been impeached for getting the United States into the Second Gulf War.

Given that it’s likely no one reading this Proof report has any doubt that Trump has now thrust America into… well, a wasteful, endless, disinformation-fueled foreign war… but this time in Iran, it’s time to ask whether it’s merely his unusual fealty to Israel (described in an FBI report in the Epstein Files as a situation in which Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner is actually running Trump’s political career, even as the corrupt and compromised and treacherous and potentially traitorous and genocide-profiteering businessman Kushner is an alleged agent of Israel and Russia via the transnational, politically connected Chabad organization) explains his unprecedented reversal.

It doesn’t. There’s clearly something more going on here than mere a fondness for the Jewish state—or even a desire to please far-right, antisemitic Christian Zionist voters in the United States (who believe Jews must protect Jerusalem for the Second Coming of Jesus, at which point all Jews, these included, will burn in Hell for eternity)—given that (a) Trump’s own antisemitism is well-established and lifelong, and (b) he detests all religious Christians and doesn’t need their votes anymore because he doesn’t have to run for office again.
