   The ICE raid on a virtually empty park in LA was a diversion from the missing   
   Epstein Files, which were a diversion from the massive disaster unfolding in   
   Texas. That disaster happened because the U.S. weather service was gutted to   
   save a few dollars—savings that have now proven very expensive. But that   
   catastrophe also needs to be forgotten, thanks to a revival of import tariffs   
   and trade wars.   
      
   These too are meant to distract from U.S. aid to Israel, which is carrying out   
   a genocide in Gaza with U.S. support.   
      
   The complete failure to achieve peace in Ukraine isn't something Trump is   
   proud of either, so that shouldn't get too much attention. Hence the new   
   rumors about a new Fed director.   
      
   If one thing is clear about the Trump administration, it's that it's   
   ultimately one big distraction. The question then is: from what? Just from the   
   constant blunders, or is there more to it?   
      
   I have the answer to that. The U.S. is currently being plundered by Trump and   
   some of his cronies. Crypto frauds, insider trading, deals where money also   
   goes under the table to the Trump family (think of the Qatar plane deal). All   
   the fuss about import tariffs is meant to divert attention from the blunders   
   and frauds. The ultimate goal is for the Trump family to become the richest   
   family in the U.S., preferably with lasting political power.
