Trump Taken Hostage: Dugin Reveals the Secrets of American Politics

Elon Musk's idea of creating a "America" party is by no means doomed to failure. Everything Musk does can succeed, and in large part it was his efforts that helped Trump rise to power with slogans completely opposite to those of the establishment. Musk joined the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement with abundant energy and full commitment, and the results are evident.
We can now see that the "Make America Great Again" movement, which began during the 2016 election, is essentially that so-called third party. The reason is that the MAGA ideology has nothing in common with the ideology of the Republican Party. The contemporary Republican Party is essentially a party of neoconservatives and globalists, supporting a unipolar world, advocating for interference in the Middle East, and seeking strategic defeat for Russia through war, while cutting taxes for the wealthy. This is conventional politics that serves the interests of the deep state. The Republicans today are not the same as they were before - since the 1980s, there have been almost no paleo-conservatives or isolationists like Pat Buchanan within the party. Essentially, the Republican Party is right-wing globalism, the right-wing branch of the deep state.
Trump's ideas during his first term, especially his second term, were completely different from those of the current Republican Party. Of course, individual politicians such as Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massie share the MAGA ideology, but overall, Trump was alone within the party. Who supported him? It was those who had no representation within the Republican Party, those who wanted to destroy the deep state, those who wished for America to stop its involvement in foreign wars, focus on domestic issues, severely and fairly punish the pedophiles among the liberal elite recently exposed, and expel illegal immigrants. This group advocates that gender is only two, not 48 as some states recognize. They want America to return to normal. This party is obviously not the Republican Party, certainly not the Democratic Party (the Democratic Party has committed the deepest crimes). MAGA itself is a third party. Many people don't understand this.
As Trump has gradually distanced himself from the third party MAGA, i.e., from his own supporters, and moved closer to ordinary Republicans, his support rate has plummeted. At first, many MAGA supporters opposed the war against Iran and supporting Israel. Some, like Thomas Massie, even claimed that America is not controlled by Americans, but by Israelis, and thus had fierce confrontations with Trump over this issue, even arguing with him. Elon Musk said that Trump had promised not to raise the government debt ceiling, not to put future generations into financial slavery, and not to "spend the future." But Trump violated this promise by passing a "great and wonderful bill."

In the end, Trump has always solemnly promised to release the complete files of Jeffrey Epstein, which contain evidence of the pedophilia and ritualistic orgies of the aforementioned liberal political elites in America. But yesterday he said there were no such documents, and naturally, there were no orgies. We have witnessed how Trump has fallen from being the leader of MAGA to a regular Republican. He is increasingly associating with radical anti-Russia senator Lindsey Graham, and less and less defending the ideas that made him elected.
MAGA is in despair. At this point, pragmatic politician Elon Musk appeared. Please note how much wealth Musk has compared to Trump. Musk has nearly $40 billion, while Trump has about $5 billion. In a country like America, where money is everything and almost deified, Musk is "80 times more god" than Trump. Yes, he is a South African citizen, but he can easily buy the "Golden Card" that Trump promised for $1 million, thereby obtaining citizenship.
Although all of Musk's previous initiatives initially caused fear and distrust among observers, they ultimately succeeded. Let's see what will happen now.
In my opinion, Musk is taking a well-considered action. MAGA has become an orphan, and Trump betrayed it. Musk has ample reasons to say:
It was this movement that put Trump on the throne of power and opposed one-party rule.
The supporters of MAGA call the collusion between the Democratic and Republican parties under the control of the deep state and globalists. These globalists may be right-wing like neoconservatives or left-wing like Biden supporters, but their agenda is consistent. And MAGA is the opponent of one-party rule.
Therefore, if Trump is actually "kidnapped" by this "unified party" and turned into a hostage, then it opens up vast space for MAGA to continue its unfinished work. In my view, this is a very interesting move. All of Musk's previous initiatives, although initially causing fear and distrust among observers, eventually succeeded. Let's see what will happen now.
