Lots of good stuff, and you definitely should publish it. I want to read this carefully to write my comments. But just after the first three paragraphs, I know this will be a good piece. However, you probably want to chop them into multiple smaller pieces. People's attention span is short and you don't want your insights get lost. Please keep up with the good work.

Chinese used to have a slang for the kind of situation described in your first block quote. My poor translation is: a fake gentlemen/saint versus a real and thoroughly rotten scumbag. I have frequently described the US Republicans and Democrats this way.

As for Trump, you are justified to worry but probably cutting him some slack. He is rich but he still needed that 100 million from Mrs. Edelson (I think Trump got only about one third of Hariis campaign donatiion?) There has been a new Allistaire Cooke interview with Judge Napolitan (?) or Scott Ritter with Nima (sorry, poor memory, but very new interview) I think Allistaire or Scott explained that the neocons assignment are meant for AIPAC, but these people will not dominate US foreign policies. EVen if they try to interfere with Trump, they would be even less powerful than John Bolton. Trump focus will be inward to clean up USA. Looking from the outside, the building may have been more or less the same.
