So I was listening and reading, and got some very different views about Trump.

One is from an American now based iirc in Japan who reads all the 'local' newspapers - yanno, papers we couldn't generally access here. And he said that Trump scored high marks in SK, China, India and Japan, by basically stating he was looking for areas of mutual self-interest between the US and those countries. Apparently Xi Jinping thought so well of Trump he treated Trump to a state dinner in the Forbidden City, something that hasn't happened with a foreigner in over 80 years. He also made a point of stating how vastly differently the papers of those respective countries covered Trump vs how the US covered him.

And then there is another astute foreigner living in the US who's been fairly pro-Trump until the appointment of Bolton, at which point he went off the rails and said - yep, the neo-cons got to him.

And then there was the third opinion that Washington is so owned by the Deep State, that no one person could possibly be a change agent, not even the president. That it would take a years (decades) long movement with a deep bench of experienced people to wash out the old system and replace it with a new functioning apparatus to do that.

I know I haven't linked the sources, but honestly, I don't think anybody would bother listening to hours of interviews or read multiple multi-page essays.

I'm just putting down a marker for later comparison.

Those 3 may be different perspectives of view, but I wouldn't consider them opposites, or mutually exclusive.
I consider all 3 to be valid and viable, although I would hope the 3rd to be more pessimistic than the future will reveal.

It does seem like MSM is giving Bolton a pass. A very bad sign.

Trump has successfully cultivated an image as flaky and incompetent.

Not everybody thinks so. He is, by the accounts of the news papers in those Asian countries he visited, very respected and well-received.

It could be you are the victim of a ruse, and the propaganda it's feeding into. That's why it's helpful to break out of the Imperial narrative.

So anyway ... anyone up for a rational, fact-based, and civil discussion about the topic?

"It does seem like MSM is giving Bolton a pass. A very bad sign." I agree.

There are at least two other views floating around "out there":

The fourth (by your count) comes from true believers, people who scrutinize the posts of Q (Q Anon) like some armageddonist poring over the Apocrypha. In this quote, from November of last year, he said that ... but in THIS quote from March 23 he said that ... but here he said that ....

The latest catch-phrase is Trust the plan, the interpretation is that all of Trump's actions (including the appointment of Bolton) are part of The Plan. Sometimes the interpreters of Q Anon have to do some pretty impressive mental backflips to maintain their narrative, but (again, according to them) Bolton was appointed so Trump could find out HIS sources and roll them ALL up at the same time. As "Dave" of X22 says ...the Deep State goes pretty deep" .... it won't work to lop off the mouthpieces of the Deep State, you need to dig deeper and deeper to find their true handlers.

Dave points to a series of Executive Orders, meetings, and events which, quite frankly, DO point to active and ongoing measures to quietly root out the Deep State including cutting their sources of illegal funding (by closing the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan to interdict the Deep State's opium poppy trade). If I could remember all of the EOs, meetings, and events it would make a pretty impressive list. According to "Dave" one of the targets of the Trump administration is The Fed. Regulation of social media Internet Bill of Rights (Come on, people sign the petition already) was something predicted by Q Anon (they say). Audit The Fed is another, and international sex trafficking - especially of children- is a third target and Bill and Hillary are involved in that. They say.

The reason why I make such a big deal about this is because nobody here is likely to have heard any of this, and I hope to make a fair representation of their POV. I listen to Dave much like I listened to The Truthseeker: With a mental bucket of popcorn. But I've also gotten some really good insights from both, so I can't reject what they say entirely.

A fifth interpretation is that Trump is just nuts, or perhaps only mildly aware of what's going on in the background, but that there is a splinter anti-Deep State faction (formerly of the Deep State) and that they are somehow managing Trump's actions sufficiently to accomplish their goals of ridding the USA government of Deep State influence.

I guess, in both POVs, it's not about Trump at all: He's either an active member or a distracting sideshow, but much of the REAL work of draining the swamp is with others.

Just my $0.02.

I take it none of that is in published or broadcast media?

Yep, these are exactly the type of views I would expect kiki to be reading.

3 different shades of alt-left/alt-right.

I's all alt media via Youtube or Steemit

The most consistent vlogger is Dave of X22

but you can also look for Jim Willie, Gerald Celente ummm... I'll see who else popped up. I tend to bunny-trail my way thru the media, don't always keep track of where I've been. But the X22 report is the best place to start.

Well, I have to say this is weird ...

I've been listening to X22 and some of the other Q-followers, and they have made a number of predictions which are becoming disturbingly true.

One of them was that the giant tech companies would be de-FANGed (facebook, amazon, netflix, and google) - they would be regulated, and some of them wouldn't survive. So in addition to all of the trouble that Facebook is in, for doing what everyone knows ALL of the "free' application do (i.e harvest all of your data) Trump just attacked Amazon, and the FANG stocks are dropping like a rock.

The other thing that was made a deal was the "explanation" (to outraged conservatives) as to why Trump signed the spending bill. The point was made that (1) it wasn't a budget, but a spending bill and (2) Trump would have the authority to take that money and spend it elsewhere if he declared that it was a matter of national security. And yesterday, NPR discussed the possibility that Trump might use some of that Pentagon money to build the wall, because it's a national security issue.

They ALSO predicted that Trump would pull troops out of Syria very soon: Yet another prediction that seems to be coming true, as just today Trump announced a troop withdrawal from Syria.

****

They say that Trump is "rolling up" the deep state by collecting evidence on all of them, including the deepest of the deep state moles.

That many of the deep-state mouthpieces have been compromised by sex tapes, especially pedophilia. They have predicted that there is a bombshell video of Hillary having sex with a child (just saying that's what they say).

That the peace talks between Kim Jon Un and Trump have ALREADY taken place, in China, that these new talks are just for show.

That Trump will sign an "audit the Fed" bill, which will lead to the Fed's destruction.

I posted these last ones because they have not yet been shown to be even partially true, so we can get to see just how plugged in these people really are, or if they're just OTL. But so far , they have been disturbingly correct in some of there more "out there" predictions.

But you don't have to take my word for it, since X22 is online for anyone to listen to, and you can get to hear all of "Dave's" explanations and predictions for yourself. The one thing I appreciate about "Dave" is that he completely ignores what Trump (or anyone else) says, but tracks meetings and events very closely. Still, I'm personally a bit floored, so far.
