Dear TRUMPERS: We have more in common than you think... from a LEFTIST

from Dilemma Podcast · host Jay Shapiro

Donald Trump is often mocked for his bluntness, but what if his “no more bullshit” approach is actually revealing something deeper—something that both leftists and Trumpers can recognize about the world order? In this video, I break down what Trump’s honesty really exposes, from his bizarre Greenland purchase idea to his “Gaza Riviera” plan, and how it all connects to the long-standing contradictions of empire, neoliberalism, and self-determination. This isn’t a defense of Trump—far from it—but an attempt to speak across the political divide, to find where we actually agree on the failures of the system and where we fundamentally differ on what should come next.00:00 Intro The Honesty of Donald Trump00:58 The Weird Thing About Greenland0:4:28 A Giant Game of Risk06:40 Neoliberalism's Transactional Definition of Freedom10:59 Worlds We Want?
