Key Notes
Used for state-security and elite actors Jiang imagines Trump would need to win over through a war with Iran.
Jiang says the priests are analogous to what is now called the deep state: the class that must remain uncontrolled because it controls the ruler.
Jiang says persecution intensifies messianic faith: Trump interprets opposition from generals, media, courts, and foreign elites as a divine test that strengthens his mission.
Jiang predicts Trump could start a war with Iran to win over the deep state, Israel lobby, military-industrial complex, and other elites.
He says special forces and deep-state members would have incentives to commit terrorism, assassination, election meddling, and interference to keep an Iran war going and ensure Trump wins in 2028.
Jiang says Trump may believe he must play along with the deep state and go to war because he thinks the deep state rigged 2020 against him for refusing wars.
He predicts Trump could manipulate his anti-war base back to him by blaming Nikki Haley, the deep state, or Israel for the Iran war.
