I am getting the distinct feeling that this is by design and is the actual goal. Because it kind of is. It would explain the absolutely carefree demeanor of Trump- his dementia aside, because it seems like what they're doing is quite literally dismantling society so that they can seize complete power and control the land and make their own, "new and improved" one where they are in charge, own everything, and dynastic rule is reinstated.
Yes that sounds like a conspiracy theory, sure, because it is. The thing with conspiracy theories are most often the complete lack of evidence to support them, but in this case, you know, there is so much and it's so blatant that I feel it's kind of warranted to make an educated guess about the fairly obvious conclusion.
Destroying and replacing the US will not affect their bottom line in any other way than positive, either, because remember, they can all rob the planet blind through the markets on insider information because their guy in the White House will tell, or sell, them information about the next thing he's gonna destroy.
One's chaos is an opportunity for another.
Just wait until you realize what the point of a border wall actually is.
