    Here’s a pretty wild idea that just occurred to me. Let’s assume that Trump being a Russian asset is far from being the big picture, but a tiny part of it. What if some people have planned something much bigger, and the Trump administration is just one step along the way.

    Maybe the goal is to make people rise up against a tyrannical dictator, and tare down the whole administration. Then, something new could rise from the ashes, and that’s when you have a unique opportunity to design the whole system to your liking. Consider it a hard reset, where you purge every cache and memory. Well, who would design the new constitution and a new government at that point? Even if it’s the people who do that, their opinions can be easily swayed, distorted and guided by social media. What if some people are just waiting for each piece to fall in its place.

    Well, I have zero evidence for any of this, so consider it nothing more than food for thought. You could also use that as a prompt for a scifi book if you want.
