Robert Barnes, The Duran – Foreign policy HUBRIS and MAGA division Problems of Trump

by The Duran [11-11-2025].

(RAD: I rarely watch a LONG video, yet this was an exception. My usual attitude is that if they can't say it in less than an hour, preferably within half an hour, then they just like to hear themselves talk & haven't figured out how to properly summarize their main points. When I saw Larry C. Johnson make the following statement, I decided to take a look.

"This will be a brief article, but you will have to do some work by watching the videos. For starters, Robert Barnes appeared on The Duran on Monday and provided an incredibly brilliant analysis of the causes behind the collapse of Donald Trump’s presidency. According to Barnes, Trump is a captive of the Zionist lobby and is betraying the MAGA base by sucking up to corporate interests. I know that is no surprise to many of you, but Barnes’ explanation puts some important meat on those bones. He is particularly scathing of Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:"

The more I listened to Robert Barnes, the more I realized that his observations aligned with what I have been seeing with Trump's recent foreign & domestic policies. Robert's analysis is spot on & hard hitting. Whether Trump can make some serious course corrections is an open question. Trump has forgotten why he was elected. If he doesn't change, he will fail. Towards the end, Robert & Alexander propose some changes that Trump could make to change course, but will he? Trump has been given very bad advice on Russia, Ukraine, China, Iran, Israel, Venezuela & many other issues. I listened to the entire video, since the discussion kept providing excellent content. — RAD)
