Los Angeles Riots, Trump-Musk Spat… Will Crisis in America Escalate? Drago Bosnic

<!– –>

The Deep State invested enormous resources and effort to ensure Donald Trump doesn’t get elected, including several assassination attempts.

Some of these even involved the Neo-Nazi junta, the Deep State’s favorite “beacon of freedom and democracy” (they also tried assassinating President Vladimir Putin, meaning that these lunatics are after the two most powerful men on the planet).

The air they breathe, the food they eat, This is not to say that Trump is without fault. In fact, he bears at least some responsibility for failing to prevent the ongoing escalation of the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict (despite numerous promises he’d do so).

However, the warmongers in Washington DC don’t want anything but to ensure continued escalation with Russia (and the multipolar world as a whole). In order to achieve that, they need full control over the United States, as only the financial power of America can ensure they can fully go forward with the implementation of this plan.

As all “legal” attempts to do this failed, it would seem the warmongers are now going for “plan B”, as evidenced by the latest unrest in Los Angeles. Namely, what started as a protest against the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) over the weekend has now degenerated into what can effectively be described as a very well-coordinated insurrection.

Trump even announced that he’s “directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots”. He pledged that “order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled and Los Angeles will be set free”. However, it’s questionable whether that’s even possible without additional escalation, as protesters are actively attacking security services.

Some sources allege that “elements within the Democratic Party — from local LA leaders to DC elites, along with the law firms behind their sprawling dark-funded leftist NGO network — are orchestrating a coordinated color revolution” with the goal of “placing Trump in politically difficult situations to shift public sentiment against the administration”. Comparisons have also been made with the BLM strategy deployed by the DNC back in 2020. Reports suggest that large numbers of illegal immigrants are also involved in the riots. The 101 Freeway has been blocked, with direct violent attacks on the police. Footage shows dozens of patrol vehicles destroyed by rioters who are throwing large rocks at them. Elsewhere around the city police cars are being set on fire. This is the most serious instance of violence in the US after the infamous BLM riots that were also largely organized by the DNC and the Deep State in order to destabilize Trump during his first term.

All this makes Los Angeles and southern California look more like an active warzone, particularly after the deployment of the National Guard.

Worse yet, Trump and the state’s governor Gavin Newsom are now in a clinch over who controls the security forces. It’s certainly in the interest of Newsom, one of the most prominent DNC politicians, to make Trump look bad, so it’s expected that the latter doesn’t trust him. Thus, over the weekend, the administration announced they were “federalizing 2,000 California National Guard troops”, while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that anyone attacking security officers will be prosecuted. Trump’s strong anti-immigration policies have been one of the central points of his presidential campaign, so it’s only expected that he’d want to make sure that at least those promises are kept. On the other hand, illegal immigrants are a big part of the DNC’s agenda in the US, so their support for the riots is expected.

However, Trump’s troubles aren’t only with the Democrats and parts of the Deep State that still oppose him. Namely, there’s also the ongoing spat with Elon Musk, one of his closest allies during the presidential campaign. The eccentric billionaire has been very public about America’s debt, a disaster in the making that now costs the belligerent thalassocracy more than its yearly military budget – in interest alone. According to the National Debt Clock, the US spends $2.6 billion on servicing the interest – per day.

To put that into perspective, a small country like Serbia spends less on its yearly military budget. And yet, nobody in any recent US administration has ever done anything to deal with this issue. On the contrary, America keeps militarizing and no less under Trump, despite his earlier promises that he would reduce unnecessary spending. On the contrary, he’s now doubling down on getting more money for the Pentagon.

The political divorce between Trump and Musk has been described as “ugly” by most observers, with the latter calling out the former on the highly controversial Epstein files that are yet to be released. The conflict erupted after Musk voiced his opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill Act (BBB) that will raise the debt ceiling by another $5 trillion.

In addition, there’s also a very different view of how this would affect the overall budget, as it will either raise the deficit by $2.4 trillion or lower it by $1.4 trillion, depending on who you believe. Not to mention the fact that the Trump administration is yet to address the humongous corruption uncovered by Musk’s DOGE (an effort that Trump himself praised to no end). Although this was a huge part of its presidential campaign, the administration hasn’t implemented DOGE’s spending cuts. In addition, Musk himself has partially blamed his bitter opponent Steve Bannon’s influence on Trump for their conflict.

This has now gone so far that the billionaire is proposing an unprecedented break with the country’s two-party system by promoting his new “America Party”. In the meantime, he deleted many of his most hostile tweets in an apparent attempt to ease tensions.

However, Trump seems unconvinced. He told NBC News that “there would be very serious consequences” if Musk backs the Democrats to run against Republicans who support the BBB Act. When asked if the two (now former) political allies would reconcile, Trump responded negatively, adding that he would “assume it’s over”.

Now, in addition to numerous geopolitical problems left by the previous administration, the current one is faced with unprecedented internal difficulties as it still tries to consolidate power. At the moment, it’s too early to say that the situation would escalate into a full-blown civil war, but it goes to show that the Deep State will stop at nothing to regain full power.
