If we want to see what goes on in the "veddy, veddy Exclusive, and
veddy veddy private club, after all the Flunkies have been patted on
the head and sent home, all we need do is to watch "The Donald".
Donald Trump is the first president among a number of Ruling Class Men
in the White House, to bring the rough and tumble backroom brawling
into the public limelight.
The Empire's Ruling Class is one big dysfunctional family. And Donald
Trump may be one of the most dysfunctional members of this noble clan.
He certainly is not a team player.
Other members of the Ruling Class to sit in the Oval Office, in my
lifetime, were George Bush, Big Daddy George Bush, John Kennedy, and
FDR. I'm not certain of Jimmy Carter, but if he is a member he's only
small potatoes...uh...peanuts.
Obama, Clinton, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Eisenhower and Truman
were all Pawns of the Ruling Class. They were well paid Lackeys for
jobs well done.
Because there many divisions among the Ruling Class, members do become
involved in the day to day politic. Some accept appointed posts such
as Ambassadors or agency heads or even sitting on the Supreme Court.
But for the most part they stay in the background and hire "frontmen"
to do their bidding. And, in many cases, they actually marry from
among the Lackey Ranks. But one thing is for certain, these bully
boys may turn on one another, but when their Rule is challenged, they
become one mighty fist.
