Yes he is in the Epstein files too.
Something I noticed especially in the west is the appointment of ex-investment bankers to very powerful political positions. Macron, Carney and Sunak were all ex-ibankers. Trump's main business guys like Powell, Bessant, Lutnick and Warsh are all ex-ibankers too.
Thats not to say high finance guys weren't in the government before. But it seems to be more and more of them now.

Thats geo politics and geo economics on speed run, that's Trump working like catalyst, thats the ratcheting up of the 'Donroe Doctrine', just check out the one year of Trump 47 presidency era's effect on single element Silver.
Gentlemen we are living in extra ordinary times.
Really don't want to watch anything NYT...... Looking at timestamps, are they still doing that whole "peak china" masturbation?
So we have Manchurian candidate who is secretly a comrade. Then what we call Trump? Jerusalem Goy? Pedophilian candidate?

When something like this happens, it's emotional bait; America wants to see China waste its time and resources coming down hard and making little enemies all over the world when everything they did was out of fear of America. This is America's favorite game; it has set the rules and the board since WWII, embedding each country with corrupt politicians, spies and when that fails, with threats of violence. If China engages in this game with America, we will lose; if we want to make these countries more scared of us than America, we will lose. This is not our game, not yet.
The proper development of a superpower is economy, technology, defensive military, power projecting military. Our economy went into 2 trade wars with the country that commands the global reserve currency, something only a country with no sense of self preservation would dare attempt... and we won both times. Our technology has broken every collective Western chokehold, surpassed them in the majority of crucial fields, then dealt the US a liver blow with rare earth restrictions. Our military makes China impenetrable no matter how many trillions Trump wants to raise the US military budget to and our 2025 military parade made that painfully obvious. Now, our military holds the upper hand in Asia and is expanding bluewater capabilities to challenge the US on the open oceans, which would finally bring power projection when complete. But the last step is not complete yet, so it would be foolish to act emotionally as if it were. Before this last step is complete, we cannot afford to play America's game.
China is oftentimes referred to as the nation that does nothing and wins. That's just a joke; China works tirelessly but all of our meaningful actions are quiet and within our borders. When we fortify our economy, we win; when we invent new cutting edge technology, we win; when we outbuild any other military in the world, we win. This is our game where the US, and the entire West will lose to us, even with all their might combined. Against a waning superpower that is rotting inside out as it is being deconstructed in the same order that China is being built, its military and power projection abilities are the last to fall. So you may criticize China's responses as toothless when confronted with American power projection, but that's because we are quite toothless there and acting like we are not with a premature conflict and entry into America's power projection game would only be to our own detriment.
When we're taking pot shots from an enemy that is currently sitting out of range, running for cover and accepting the damage while closing distance is the most intelligent and beneficial thing to do. Raging at him while trying to attack the spears and arrows he throws at us is what he wants. With a fledgling aircraft carrier fleet and most of our best weapon designs in final design, testing or LRIP, China will not compete in foreign influence against a country that desperately sends its 11 aircraft carriers to abduct foreign presidents who will not play to its tune. This is not a game we will win at this time; for now, we must continue to play our own game out-developing every country out there even if there will be insults and small injuries we would do best not to dwell on.
The final years before the Soviet Union fell were America's most restrained years. Even in the face of Soviet provocation and aggression, America remained calm and non-escalatory, not because it was weaker, but because it felt that trading a bright and rising future to a declining rotting rival in a final nuclear showdown was a very bad deal. Best to gently let the dying die rather than honor him with a brilliant final fight while he's still capable.
