 Don't you find it hard to believe the logic that the media in a dozen Western countries would demonize Trump for 8+ years, charge him with crimes, only to give him a political victory over a political candidate that the establishment controls?

Sorry, I find this extremely implausible. Even if we assumed such a scenario, wouldn't there be a risk of unknown candidates that could beat Trump?

Spending 8 years demonizing a person that you secretly support is not going to happen across a dozen nations, their governments + government owned media.

We can probably find a number of flaws with Trump but he is obviously not favored by tge establishment. If it were up to me I'd rather see a Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of the US.
