The United States did not elect a statesman, but a manager of billionaires' businesses.

The great contradiction of the citizens of the United States, in choosing, for the second time, a president who has undermined the values ​​of democracy and the security of the country's republican institutions, is laid bare.

This occurs at a time when the United States no longer elects statesmen, leaders of high public spirit, who have always defended the values ​​and institutions of the democratic model of American society.

Unlike in the past, the United States has elected the best manager for the businesses of the country's billionaires. Racist, xenophobic people, indifferent to the problems of the population, who hate their immigrant counterparts, and ignore the origins and formation of American societies.

Donald Trump stirs up the depths of United States history and brings to light the ideological myths that helped found the nation: Manifest Destiny (the United States as a supremacist world power) and the American Dream (through hard work I will become rich).

Recent events involving Trump demonstrate a collusion between the corporate power of billionaires, acting in the interest of their businesses, and a power structure operating above the official state. Recently, the presence of Elon Musk, the world's richest man, as his chief advisor, demonstrates the direct connection between these wealthy individuals and the government.

The most serious issue is that institutions are being subordinated to this parallel power structure, with the complicity of the Deep State, especially the Armed Forces. This is nothing new; it's as old as the United States itself.

But the new fact is that immorality, violence, and indifference towards the democratic rule of law and its institutions are being exposed without any shame.

What the CIA did in Venezuela and what ICE did in Minneapolis are undeniable facts of the institutional decay of the United States.

Not only are democracy and its values ​​being undermined by corporate power, but also the economy and the dollar, which are suffering sharp devaluation worldwide, ceasing to be a benchmark for trade and reserves, as a symptom of the end of an empire.

Donald Trump is the embodiment of the United States' desperation in the face of China. Without making a sound, China is developing, becoming the world's largest technological and industrial complex, and threatening American hegemony.

This is not about underestimating the United States, the greatest economic and military power on the planet, but about recognizing its decline, its agony, and the threats its government, with the largest military arsenal in the world, makes to other nations in order to subjugate them to its designs.

Donald Trump's proposal to create a peace council in the Middle East, following the assault on Venezuela and the arrest of Nicolás Maduro; the threats to invade Greenland and annex Canada; and the attack on Iran, demonstrates the corporate power of billionaires and the offensive with new technological communication apparatus (Big Techs) and Armed Forces subordinated to their orders.

Global military spending on armaments reached $1,5 trillion. That's no small amount.

During the golden age of oil, the United States raided several countries, overthrew governments, and established its oil companies and military bases, primarily in the Middle East, in countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, and Lebanon. The raid on Venezuela is part of this traditional offensive.

Trump is moving forward with building parallel corporate power structures, disregarding the United Nations (UN).

The so-called Middle East peace council, which he self-appoints as its manager, without inviting the natural representatives of the Palestinian community—the greatest victim of the genocide—and with the imposition of quotas of US$1 billion for each member country, is yet another demonstration that the thirst for domination ignores institutional limits.

President Lula has publicly advocated for UN reform, prioritizing increased participation from nations of all continents and the elimination of the veto power.

But this doesn't interest the billionaires' government. After all, war is big business. For them, a reformed UN would be a complication for established corporate power. They are enemies of the democratic rule of law.

The world is in danger with the rise of outlaws. For them, the law of the strongest prevails, those who control the greatest nuclear military power on the planet.
