Key Notes
Jiang says elite control over public figures like Trump works mostly through subtle influence: surrounding them with trusted people, feeding them media agendas, and nudging them until the resulting decisions feel self-generated.
Jiang says AI deepfakes such as the ones about Trump meeting the Nordics are easy to make.
He says the real test for Mamdani will be how he responds when Donald Trump sends ICE into New York City to round up undocumented immigrants.
He says Trump is structurally unlikely to leave office because leaving would expose him and his family to prosecution, and therefore he may remain in office for a long time and even secure a third term.
Jiang answers that peace with Iran is no longer possible.
Jiang says many Trump supporters see Trump as a messianic figure who could purge transactional British influence and stage a second 1776.
Jiang says Trump is not playing civilizational '4D chess' to save America; whatever strategic cleverness Trump has is aimed at extending his own domestic political power, including a possible third term.
