“Leaders blinded by power and wealth often become puppets for the Master Puppeteer? —-John Johnson II
By John Johnson II
Donald J. Trump, now the 47th U.S. President and newly granted sweeping immunity by the Supreme Court, runs the government like a personal puppet show. His Cabinet—composed largely of millionaires and billionaires—has followed his lead without question, echoing his views and reversing course whenever he tugs the strings.
One troubling moment came when Elon Musk, under the banner of cost-cutting and efficiency through his DOGE initiative, was granted access to the entire federal database. Why didn’t Trump’s advisors object? Blind loyalty left the door wide open. With control over such vast data—and the ability to affect key systems like Starlink—Musk now holds immense power, arguably becoming the true Master Puppeteer.
The core questions for voters are: Who truly holds the reins—Trump or Musk? And can a Cabinet of yes-men protect democracy? Without checks, one individual could potentially compromise national operations. The danger lies not just in one man’s power, but in the silence of those meant to advise him.
As the 2025 election looms, voters must decide: Will they accept a government of puppets, or will they cut the strings?
YOU BE THE JUDGE.
