Many of the presidents of the United States have come from business backgrounds, and we will take a closer look:
The 29th President of the United States, Warren G. Harding, was a newspaper publisher in Ohio.
The 30th U.S. president, Calvin Coolidge, a lawyer by training and vice president at the Nanotak Savings Bank in Northampton, Massachusetts, famously said that "the first priority for Americans is to do business."
The 31st U.S. president, Herbert Hoover, was a mining expert who went to Australia during the gold rush in the 1890s and became a mining manager.
The 39th President of the United States, Peanut Farmer Jimmy Carter is also a businessman.
President of the 41st United States, George W. Bush H· George H. W. Bush was elected at a time when the stock market was soaring.
And his son, the 43rd president, George W. Bush, was elected president of the 43rd century. George W. Bush won the election during a booming housing market. Both are venture capital entrepreneurs in the oil industry.
The above-mentioned presidents are relatively just ordinary small businessmen, and their commercial influence or wealth is relative to the capital giants of the United States.
Trump is the only president who can truly be called a big man of capital. Trump is currently worth $2.5 billion, ranking 339th in the United States.
From the perspective of his stature, Trump does belong to the richest president, we know that in the United States, if you want to be president, or have the support of the consortium, make political contributions; this kind of president who is given political contribution support by the consortium will naturally seek benefits for the donors after successfully running for the presidency, if there are more capital large consortium political contributions, then such a president has actually been hollowed out, that is to say, he has become the spokesman of these capital consortiums and seeks benefits for the consortium.
Military enterprises such as Raytheon, Loma Group, Boeing Group, Nog Group, General Dynamics, etc., so every president has to take the form of foreign military use to seek benefits for the military group, so this is also one of the root causes of the Continuous War launched by the United States.
We have seen that the United States has dragged on the war in Afghanistan for 20 years, because the interests of the military industrial group are in it, and as long as there is a war, the military industrial group will have money to earn. Last year's U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was also due to the fact that Afghanistan had nothing to fight and little significance, and the purpose of its withdrawal was also to operate a conflict with Russia to trigger a larger war, so the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out. In this war, the Western countries led by the United States have unlimited all-round military assistance to Ukraine, 30 billion US dollars of aid, which will be increased later, and it is estimated that it may reach 100 billion US dollars in the future. In just these two months, the US military-industrial group has reached $3 billion and made huge profits, which is much more profitable than the war in Afghanistan.
It can be seen that the president of the United States is mostly vacated, only the role of agent, and different presidents represent different interest groups.
Trump came to power to break this clear rule, Trump does not represent any other interest group, it only represents its own interests, like those military industrial groups and so on, Trump most of the time does not bird them at all, because the interests of these people are in conflict with his personal interests, he wants to do business with countries around the world. It is necessary to stand in the perspective of businessmen and deal with the countries of the world as presidents.
Trump's maverick way makes other interest groups very unhappy, so various defects ensued, so these groups used the media to slander Trump, Trump did not show weakness, frequently angered the media, but Trump did not have his own media platform, but also everywhere constrained, fearful, the result is that his own image is greatly affected. This is also one of the factors that made Trump's subsequent campaign unsuccessful.
It is true that Trump did not use foreign troops during his presidency, which shows that a president is still very autonomous when he is not subject to interest groups, which is Trump's advantage, and what he does not agree to is really difficult to do.
Trump is such a special case, a feeling of confusion at home, but also let the rest of the world do not know why, in fact, Trump's core purpose is to do business with other countries, whether it is military intimidation, economic sanctions are to pave the way for doing business.
Really starting a war is not his preference, or he does not want to start a war at all, so we can call Trump the president of the United States who loves peace the most, the Nobel Peace Prize is well deserved, there has not been a real war in these four years, how many people have been spared from war, this is where Trump's merit is immeasurable.
In terms of Trump's behavior, those big interests in the United States are bound to not tolerate his re-election as president, so they will drink the northwest wind. So they formed an anti-Trump organization, as the saying goes, good men are difficult to defeat four hands, and finally Trump lost the presidential re-election campaign. He was very unwilling, he knew the dark curtain inside, but in the end he couldn't help it.
After Biden took office, he quickly withdrew from Afghanistan in afghanistan, which did not have much benefit, in accordance with the interests of the country or the military-industrial group, and immediately operated another war, originally wanted to operate the Belarusian color revolution, but did not expect to be handled by Putin, destroying the US plan, so he immediately implemented the second set of plans to push Ukraine closer to the West, and Putin, who was forced to be helpless, had to attack Ukraine. This is exactly in the heart of the United States, a us-led Western-backed proxy war began, the United States sent weapons, Ukraine sent troops, in line with the needs of American interest groups, this is a tacit understanding between the president and interest groups.
However, for presidents like Biden, many people understand that the president is just an empty shelf, and the real people behind the scenes are the big business groups.
The appearance of Trump has made Americans feel refreshed, and many rich and wealthy people have seen the benefits of being president, which is more attractive and more active than behind the scenes. Therefore, the original behind-the-scenes model is no longer suitable for the current US political system, and the direct control of the state apparatus by the rich is a more effective model.
So who is the most advantageous person today? Some people say that It is Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, who controls the media and has a strong publicity advantage, but it is not enough to have the media, there is no real economy, there is no control of the country's key lifeline of the enterprise, its influence is always limited.
Of course, like the heads of other consortiums are too old, Microsoft has passed, Apple does not have that strength, like Murdoch, Buffett and so on, the old is not in the mood to be president.
Musk, a young man after the 70s, is energetic, thriving, becoming the world's richest man, the key is that his company's products are completely related to the development of the United States, or have a huge relationship with the national security of the United States, spacecraft research and development, Starlink program, etc. These are all for the control of the entire United States. Of course, only these words, we can not see how strong Musk's desire to run for the presidency, then the recent acquisition of Facebook, can be seen that its hand to the media as a propaganda tool, which is a very important symbol, control of media propaganda, plus physical business is related to the core of the United States. The addition of the two means that the possibility of Musk running for the role of president has increased dramatically.
Perhaps the next US President, Musk, may be able to run.
Trump has set a precedent for the rich to be the president of the United States directly, and once this opening is opened, then the future of the United States will be behind the scenes of the chaebols
Gradually move to the front of the stage to directly control the supreme power of the country.
This is a trend for future U.S. presidential candidates!
