Sometimes I think that all the world's major problems emerge from one single meta problem: The concentration of power.

Democracies trying to get rid of smoking for 3 decades and failing? Concentration of power in the tobacco industry.

Putin being able to invade Ukraine? Concentration of power around Putin.

Trump being reelected because Musk had $250 million to throw at it? Concentration of power around Musk.

Iran war? Concentration of power in The White House.

Etc., etc., etc.

Personally I think that Trump is doing what he has done all his life.

Knowing that the justice system is slow Trump grills the person, if he do not break he offers a settlement. If he do not accept it Trump loose the case in a way that is not public and nobody understand what is happening.

If the person breaks, Trump settle and offer him a job, knowing that the person is weak and he can control him.

This is what Trump is calling "The Art Of The Deal"
